Overview
This HTS classification covers basic paper specifically manufactured for use in photographic applications. It is designed to be sensitized, meaning it serves as the substrate onto which light-sensitive chemicals are applied to create photographic images. The paper's fundamental composition and manufacturing process are tailored to accept and hold these photographic emulsions effectively.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 4802.61.60, by its specific intended use. While both may fall under "Other in rolls" within the broader unbleached paper and paperboard category, 4802.61.50.00 is exclusively for photographic sensitization. Therefore, the key differentiating factor is the functional purpose and inherent properties of the paper that make it suitable for photographic processing, rather than general printing or writing purposes.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification into this specific code is determined by the paper's suitability and intended application in photographic processes, differentiating it from other types of uncoated paper and paperboard that may share similar physical characteristics but lack the specific properties required for photographic sensitization.
