About photographic film; for colour photography (polychrome), in rolls, sensitised, unexposed, of a width not exceeding 16mm (other than of paper, paperboard or textiles)

HS code 370252 covers a crucial component of the photographic industry - unexposed color photographic film in rolls with a width not exceeding 16mm. This type of film is essential for various applications, including cinematography, amateur photography, and specialized imaging techniques. As a key input for the production of color photographs and motion pictures, this industry plays a vital role in the broader visual media and entertainment sectors.

Production process

The production of HS 370252 photographic film involves several specialized techniques. Manufacturers start by coating a flexible plastic base, such as acetate or polyester, with light-sensitive emulsion layers. These layers typically contain silver halide crystals suspended in gelatin. The film is then cut into rolls and packaged for distribution to photographers, filmmakers, and other end-users.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS 370252 photographic film include the plastic base material, silver halide compounds, gelatin, and various chemical additives. Specialized coating and slitting machinery are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a supply of high-quality water and controlled environmental conditions to ensure the consistent quality of the final product.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS 370252 is unexposed color photographic film in rolls, which is then used by 370320 (Photographic film; for colour photography (polychrome), in rolls, exposed and developed, of a width not exceeding 16mm), 370391 (Photographic film; for colour photography (polychrome), in rolls, exposed and developed, of a width exceeding 16mm but not exceeding 35mm), and other related industries to produce color photographs, motion pictures, and specialized imaging applications.
