Overview

Chapter 37 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule encompasses photographic and cinematographic goods. Within this chapter, heading 3702 specifically classifies photographic film in rolls, which is sensitized and unexposed. This category is distinct from other headings in Section VI that might deal with raw chemical materials (like Chapter 29) or manufactured goods made from paper, paperboard, or textiles (like Chapters 48 and 63), as it focuses on the specialized film medium itself, regardless of its ultimate support material beyond paper, paperboard, or textiles.

Heading 3702 distinguishes itself from other potential sibling categories within Chapter 37 by its focus on film in roll form that is unexposed and sensitized. For example, it is separate from finished photographic products like developed film or photographic paper. The key defining characteristic is the unexposed, sensitized nature of the film and its presentation in a roll format.

The subcategories within 3702 provide further refinement based on the film's intended use and physical characteristics. This includes specialized film for X-ray applications, which has distinct technical requirements. Other subdivisions differentiate based on the presence or absence of perforations, the width of the film roll, and whether the film is intended for color (polychrome) photography. These distinctions are crucial for accurate classification and may relate to specific technical specifications or manufacturing processes.
