3702.10.00 - For X-ray

This HTS category, 3702.10.00, specifically encompasses photographic film in rolls that is sensitized but unexposed, and is designed for use in X-ray applications. Unlike general photographic films, the defining characteristic here is the film's intended purpose for capturing X-ray images. This includes film utilized in medical imaging, industrial radiography, and other scientific or technical applications requiring X-ray technology.

Within the broader scope of photographic film (heading 3702), this subcategory is distinct from films intended for standard visual photography. While all are sensitized and unexposed rolls, the spectral sensitivity and construction of X-ray film are tailored to respond to X-radiation rather than visible light. It is important to differentiate this from other film types within heading 3702 that may be defined by their width, perforations, or suitability for color photography.

The subcategories under 3702.10.00 further refine the classification based on specific end-use. The primary distinction is between film for medical applications (3702.10.00.30), which covers dental and general medical imaging, and "other" uses (3702.10.00.60), which would include industrial or scientific applications where X-ray technology is employed for non-medical purposes. This division allows for more granular tracking and potential tariff differentiation based on the sector of application.
