About photographic plates and film; for x-ray, in the flat, sensitised, unexposed, of any material other than paper, paperboard or textiles

HS code 370110 covers the import and export of photographic plates and film for x-ray use. This industry plays a crucial role in the healthcare sector, providing essential materials for diagnostic imaging procedures. As a key component of the broader photographic equipment and supplies industry, the 370110 classification contributes significantly to the global economy.

Production process

The production of photographic plates and film for x-ray use typically involves a multi-step process. First, the base material, which can be made from various non-paper, non-paperboard, and non-textile substances, is coated with a light-sensitive emulsion. This emulsion is then carefully dried and cut into the desired sizes and shapes. Quality control measures are implemented throughout the manufacturing process to ensure the plates and film meet stringent industry standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 370110 industry include the base materials (such as plastic, glass, or metal), light-sensitive emulsion chemicals, and specialized production equipment like coating machines and cutting tools. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of handling the technical aspects of manufacturing these sensitive photographic products.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 370110 industry is photographic plates and film for x-ray use. These products are then consumed by the healthcare sector, particularly hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic imaging centers, which use them for various medical imaging procedures. Other related HS codes that may consume the output of the 370110 industry include 370120 Photographic film in rolls, sensitised, unexposed, of any material other than paper, paperboard or textiles and 370130 Photographic plates, film, paper, paperboard and textiles, exposed but not developed.
