HS v2017 Code: 370320

About photographic paper, paperboard and textiles; for colour photography (polychrome), (other than in rolls of a width exceeding 610mm), sensitised, unexposed

HS code 370320 covers a range of photographic materials used in color photography, excluding those in rolls wider than 610mm. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader photographic and imaging sector, providing essential inputs for professional and consumer-level color photography applications. The production and trade of these sensitized, unexposed materials are important economic activities, with global demand driven by the continued popularity of color photography across various industries and consumer markets.

Production process

The production of the photographic materials covered under HS code 370320 typically involves a series of chemical and mechanical processes. Key steps include the coating of paper, paperboard, or textiles with light-sensitive emulsions, drying, and finishing to ensure the materials meet the necessary technical specifications for color photography applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include base materials such as paper, paperboard, and textiles, as well as a range of specialized chemical compounds used in the light-sensitive emulsion coatings. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for the coating, drying, and finishing processes.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are sensitized, unexposed photographic papers, paperboards, and textiles suitable for use in color photography. These materials are often consumed by 370110 Photographic plates and film in the flat, sensitised, unexposed, of any material other than paper, paperboard or textiles, 370190 Photographic plates, film, paper, paperboard and textiles, exposed but not developed, and 370210 Photographic film in rolls, sensitised, unexposed, of any material other than paper, paperboard or textiles industries, as well as by professional and amateur photographers.
