3707.90.32.30 - Coupler dispersions, for use in color negative photographic paper

This HTS category, 3707.90.32.30, specifically covers coupler dispersions used in the manufacturing of color negative photographic paper. These are pre-mixed, ready-to-use formulations containing photographic couplers, which are chemical compounds responsible for forming the dye images in color photography. The "dispersion" aspect signifies that the couplers are finely distributed within a medium, ensuring uniform application and performance during the photographic paper production process.

This classification distinguishes itself from its siblings by focusing on the *dispersed form* of the coupler, as opposed to unassembled emulsions (3707.90.32.10) or the individual coupler compounds themselves (3707.90.32.20). While all relate to components for color negative photographic paper, 3707.90.32.30 targets a specific, formulated preparation where the coupler is already incorporated into a dispersible medium, indicating a more advanced stage of preparation for direct use in the paper coating process.

As a leaf node, this category has no further subcategories, meaning that all goods meeting the description of coupler dispersions for use in color negative photographic paper are classified directly under this HTS code. Classification hinges on the product's readiness for use in this specific application and its composition as a dispersion of photographic couplers.
