HS Code 3702.43 – Photographic film; in rolls, sensitised, unexposed, without sprocket holes, of a width exceeding 610mm and of a length not exceeding 200m (other than of paper, paperboard or textiles)
HS code 3702.43 is the 6-digit subheading for photographic film, in rolls, sensitised, unexposed, without sprocket holes, of a width exceeding 610mm and of a length not exceeding 200m (other than of paper, paperboard or textiles). It is used for large format graphic arts film, wide-format proofing film, specialized industrial inspection film, custom large format film stock and architectural imaging film.
What HS 3702.43 covers
This HS code encompasses large format, unexposed, sensitised photographic film in rolls, without sprocket holes, exceeding 610mm in width but with a length not exceeding 200m. Unlike its longer counterparts (370241, 370242), this film is for applications that require wide format but not necessarily extremely long continuous runs. It can be either colour or non-colour, as the description doesn't specify. Common uses include specialized graphic arts, large-scale proofing, certain industrial inspection processes, or custom large format photography where the film is cut to specific lengths. Importers and exporters are typically professional photographic suppliers, graphic arts distributors, and industrial imaging specialists. The key is the combination of significant width and a more manageable length compared to the 'jumbo' rolls, making it versatile for various professional and industrial tasks.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
