About photographic film; in rolls, (other than for colour photography), sensitised, unexposed, without sprocket holes, of a width exceeding 610mm and of a length exceeding 200m (other than of paper, paperboard or textiles)

HS code 370242 covers a specific type of photographic film used in various industrial and commercial applications. This film is characterized by its large width and length, making it suitable for high-volume or large-scale photography projects. The production and trade of this film play a significant role in the broader imaging and photography industry, which is an important sector within the global economy.

Production process

The production of the photographic film described by HS code 370242 involves a multi-step process. First, the base material, typically a plastic polymer, is extruded and coated with light-sensitive emulsion. The film is then cut to the required width and length, and carefully spooled onto rolls. Quality control measures are implemented throughout the production process to ensure the film meets strict standards for sensitivity, clarity, and dimensional stability.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 370242 photographic film include the base polymer material, light-sensitive emulsion chemicals, and specialized manufacturing equipment. The polymer base is typically made from materials like polyester or acetate, while the emulsion contains silver halide compounds and other photochemicals. Precision coating, slitting, and winding machinery are also essential for the efficient and consistent production of this film.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 370242 is large-format photographic film suitable for a variety of industrial and commercial applications. This film may be used in 370110 Photographic plates and film in the flat, 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, or 370130 Photographic film in rolls, sensitised, unexposed, of any material other than paper, paperboard or textiles, depending on the specific requirements of the end-user.
