HS code 3702.44 is the 6-digit subheading for photographic film, in rolls, sensitised, unexposed, without sprocket holes, of a width exceeding 105mm but not exceeding 610mm (other than of paper, paperboard or textiles). It is used for medium format professional film, graphic arts line film, medical imaging film (non-X-ray), large format sheet film (cut from rolls) and specialized industrial film.
What HS 3702.44 covers
This HS code covers unexposed, sensitised photographic film in rolls, without sprocket holes, with a width exceeding 105mm but not exceeding 610mm. This range typically includes medium to large format films used in professional photography, graphic arts, and some specialized industrial applications. It's broader than consumer film but not as massive as the 'jumbo' industrial rolls. This film can be either colour or non-colour, as the description doesn't specify. Professional photographers using medium format cameras, graphic designers for high-resolution output, and certain medical imaging facilities are typical end-users. Importers and exporters are usually professional photographic suppliers, graphic arts distributors, and specialized medical imaging companies. The absence of sprocket holes indicates it's not for motion picture cameras but for still or specialized continuous imaging.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. 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).
