HS code 3703.10 is the 6-digit subheading for photographic paper, paperboard and textiles, in rolls, sensitised, unexposed, of a width exceeding 610mm. It is used for large format photographic paper rolls, wide-format photo canvas, backlit display film (sensitised), professional inkjet photo paper (wide rolls) and large-scale proofing paper.

What HS 3703.10 covers

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.

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. 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).
