3701.10.00.30 - Medical, other than dental 🖩

This HTS subcategory, 3701.10.00.30, specifically covers flat, sensitized, and unexposed photographic plates and films intended for medical imaging, excluding dental applications. These materials are designed to capture diagnostic images for various medical procedures and examinations, such as radiography, mammography, and computed tomography. The key defining characteristic is their application within the medical field for non-dental diagnostic purposes.

Distinction from sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. While sibling category 3701.10.00.60 encompasses "Other" flat, sensitized, unexposed photographic plates and films for X-ray, this node isolates those strictly for medical use. Therefore, any X-ray film not intended for human or veterinary medical diagnosis, such as industrial inspection or scientific research applications, would fall under the "Other" sibling category.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 3701.10.00.30 is final once the product is identified as a sensitized, unexposed flat film or plate for X-ray that is exclusively for medical, non-dental diagnostic purposes. This requires careful consideration of the intended end-use and the specific characteristics of the photographic material to ensure correct import or export declaration.
