HS v2022 Code: 370210

About photographic film; for x-rays, in rolls, sensitised and unexposed (other than of paper, paperboard or textiles)

HS code 370210 covers photographic film for x-ray use, which is a critical component in the medical imaging industry. This type of film is sensitized and unexposed, meaning it is ready to be used in x-ray machines to capture images of the human body. The production and trade of this film is essential for the healthcare sector, as x-rays are a fundamental diagnostic tool used to identify injuries, diseases, and other medical conditions.

Production process

The production of photographic film for x-rays involves several key steps. First, the base material, typically a flexible plastic or polyester, is coated with light-sensitive emulsion. This emulsion contains silver halide crystals that react when exposed to x-rays, allowing the film to capture the image. The film is then cut into rolls and packaged for distribution to medical facilities and healthcare providers.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 370210 photographic film include the base material (plastic or polyester), the light-sensitive emulsion, and specialized manufacturing equipment. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of precisely coating the film and ensuring consistent quality. 842490 Machinery parts and 901890 Medical instruments may also be consumed as part of the production process.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is the photographic film itself, which is used in x-ray machines to capture medical images. These images are then analyzed by healthcare professionals to diagnose and monitor various medical conditions. The film produced under HS code 370210 may be consumed by 902214 Apparatus based on the use of X-rays and other medical imaging equipment.
