About photographic film; for colour photography (polychrome) slides, in rolls, sensitised, unexposed, of a width exceeding 16mm but not exceeding 35mm and of a length not exceeding 30m (other than of paper, paperboard or textiles)

HS code 370253 covers a specific type of photographic film used for color photography slides. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader photography and imaging sector, providing essential materials for various applications, from professional photography to educational and entertainment purposes. The production and trade of this specialized film contribute to the global economy, supporting industries that rely on high-quality visual media.

Production process

The production of the photographic film described by HS code 370253 involves a multi-step process. First, the base material, typically a flexible plastic substrate, is coated with light-sensitive emulsion layers. These layers contain silver halide crystals that react to light exposure, enabling the capture of images. The film is then cut and spooled into rolls, ensuring a standardized format for ease of use in various photographic equipment.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 370253 photographic film include the plastic base material, such as polyester or acetate, as well as the light-sensitive emulsion compounds, which typically contain silver halide and other specialized chemicals. Additionally, the manufacturing process requires specialized coating and cutting machinery to ensure the consistent quality and dimensions of the final product.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 370253 is the photographic film itself, which is used for color photography slides. This film is consumed by 950610 Photographic equipment and 900610 Photographic cameras, as well as by individuals and professionals in the photography and imaging industries. The film's unique properties make it suitable for a variety of applications, from educational presentations to artistic and commercial photography.
