Photographic film of a width 620 mm in rolls
Sensitised unexposed photographic film, 620 mm width rolls
HSN 3702 42 10 (photographic film of a width of 620 mm in rolls, sensitised, unexposed, other than for colour photography) 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 photographic film formats within Chapter 37 — distinguished by width, length, or intended use for colour photography — may be classified under different tariff lines that attract separate compliance considerations.
The critical importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: width tolerance, film length, and the colour-versus-non-colour distinction each determine which 8-digit line applies within heading 3702. A customs re-examination that reassigns the goods to a sibling line can trigger retrospective compliance obligations and detention pending resolution. Verify the technical specification — exact roll width, roll length, and photographic application — against the customs tariff before shipment.
