Sub-classifications

Commodity Code
Description

Overview

This HTS category, 3703.20, encompasses photographic paper, paperboard, and textiles that are sensitized but unexposed, specifically designed for color photography. These materials are characterized by their ability to produce polychromatic images when exposed and developed. The "Other" designation within this code indicates that the goods do not fit the specific criteria of other subheadings within the 3703 chapter.

Distinguishing 3703.20 from its siblings, 3703.10 covers photographic materials in rolls exceeding 610 mm in width, a dimension-based criterion. Conversely, 3703.90 is a more general "other" category for photographic paper, paperboard, and textiles that are not specifically for color photography. Therefore, 3703.20 focuses on the intended *use* (color photography) and the *medium* (paper, paperboard, textiles) without being restricted by roll width.

Within 3703.20, two subcategories exist to further refine classification. 3703.20.30 specifically identifies goods where the photosensitive material is silver halide based. The remaining products within the scope of 3703.20, which are not silver halide based but are still for color photography, are classified under 3703.20.60.00. This hierarchical structure allows for precise identification of the photographic material based on its composition and intended application.
