HS Code 3703.20 – Photographic paper, paperboard and textiles; for colour photography (polychrome), (other than in rolls of a width exceeding 610mm), sensitised, unexposed
HS code 3703.20 is the 6-digit subheading for photographic paper, paperboard and textiles, for colour photography (polychrome), (other than in rolls of a width exceeding 610mm), sensitised, unexposed. It is used for colour photographic paper (sheets/smaller rolls), inkjet photo paper (sensitised), photo paper for minilabs, colour photo paperboard and colour photo textiles.
What HS 3703.20 covers
This HS code covers unexposed, sensitised photographic paper, paperboard, and textiles specifically for colour photography, in formats other than rolls exceeding 610mm in width. This includes the vast majority of consumer and professional colour photographic papers and related media. It's used by photo labs, professional photographers, and home users for printing colour images from negatives or digital files onto light-sensitive surfaces. While digital printing is prevalent, traditional silver halide colour paper still offers unique qualities and is used in high-end photographic printing. Importers and exporters are typically photographic supply companies, retail chains, and specialized photo labs. The 'for colour photography' and the exclusion of very wide rolls are the key defining characteristics, making it a broad category for standard colour photo output.

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).
