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

HS code 370254 covers a specific type of photographic film used for color photography. This film is an essential component of the broader photographic industry, which plays a crucial role in various sectors, including media, entertainment, and documentation. The production and trade of this film contribute significantly to the global economy, facilitating visual communication and record-keeping across a wide range of applications.

Production process

The production of the photographic film described by HS code 370254 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 370254 photographic film include the plastic base material, light-sensitive emulsion chemicals (such as silver halides), and specialized coating and processing equipment. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the production machinery and ensuring quality control throughout the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 370254 is the photographic film itself, which is used in a variety of color photography applications. This film may be consumed by 950610 (Photographic (other than cinematographic) cameras; photographic flashlight apparatus and flashbulbs (other than discharge lamps of heading 8539)) and 370110 Photographic plates and film in the flat, sensitised, unexposed, of any material other than paper, paperboard or textiles; instant print film in the flat, sensitised, unexposed, whether or not in packs, as well as other industries that require high-quality color photographic media.
