About photographic film; in rolls, sensitised, unexposed, without sprocket holes, of a width exceeding 610mm and of a length not exceeding 200m (other than of paper, paperboard or textiles)

HS code 370243 covers a specific type of photographic film used in various industries, including media, entertainment, and scientific research. This film plays a crucial role in capturing and preserving visual information, making it an essential component of the broader imaging and photography sector. The global demand for this specialized film continues to grow, driven by advancements in technology and the increasing need for high-quality visual documentation across diverse applications.

Production process

The production of the photographic film described by HS code 370243 involves a multi-step process. First, the base material, typically a flexible plastic substrate, is coated with light-sensitive emulsion. This emulsion, which contains silver halide crystals, is then carefully dried and processed to ensure uniform sensitivity and quality. The film is then cut to the required width and length, and spooled onto rolls for distribution and use.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 370243 photographic film include the plastic substrate, silver halide compounds, and various chemical additives used in the emulsion formulation. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as coating machines, drying ovens, and slitting/spooling units, are essential for the manufacturing process. The availability and quality of these raw materials and production equipment are crucial factors in maintaining the high standards required for this specialized film.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 370243 is the photographic film itself, which is then used in a variety of applications. This film may be consumed by industries such as 370110 Photographic film in rolls, sensitised, unexposed, of any material other than paper, paperboard or textiles, 370120 Photographic film in rolls, sensitised, unexposed, of any material other than paper, paperboard or textiles, and 370130 Photographic film in rolls, sensitised, unexposed, of any material other than paper, paperboard or textiles, which utilize similar types of photographic film for their respective purposes.
