Overview

This HTS classification covers specific chemical preparations designed for photographic uses, excluding broader categories like varnishes, glues, adhesives, and similar preparations. It specifically includes unmixed products intended for photographic processes that are presented in measured portions or in a ready-to-use retail form. Acid violet 19, as a specific dye or chemical agent utilized in photographic development or processing, falls under this designation.

The distinction between this subcategory and its sibling, 3707.90.32 (Other), lies in the precise nature of the chemical preparation.
