About HS Code 370310
This HS code covers unexposed, sensitised photographic paper, paperboard, and textiles in rolls, specifically with a width exceeding 610mm. This category is primarily used in professional printing, large-format photographic output, and specialized industrial applications where wide, continuous media is required. Think of large-scale photo murals, exhibition graphics, fine art prints, or backlit displays. The users are typically professional photo labs, graphic arts companies, sign manufacturers, and fine art printers. Importers and exporters are often specialized media distributors and manufacturers of photographic materials. The 'sensitised' aspect means it reacts to light, distinguishing it from plain printing paper, and its large width makes it suitable for industrial-scale output.
