NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 3702 41 90 (other wide-format colour photographic film in rolls — exceeding 610 mm width and 200 m length) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other sensitised photographic films within Chapter 37, particularly those of narrower width or intended for specific professional or cinematographic use, may be classified under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance considerations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to wide-format colour photographic film exceeding the dimensional thresholds; narrower rolls, black-and-white sensitised film, and instant print film are classified separately within Chapter 37 and may attract different treatment. Customs re-classification on examination — for example, if the declared dimensions do not match the goods — triggers retrospective compliance and detention pending resolution. Importers should document roll width, length, and colour/monochrome specification in the commercial invoice to support tariff-line accuracy.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 3702 41 90 require any pre-import registration?
A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.

Film of different dimensions or end-use may fall under a separate tariff line within Chapter 37, which could attract distinct classification and compliance requirements upon customs examination.
