Photographic films (black and white) of a width 620 mm

Black-and-white photographic film rolls, width 620 mm

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 3702 43 10 (black-and-white photographic film in rolls of width 620 mm) 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 materials within Chapter 37 — including colour films, instant-print rolls, or films of different width or length specifications — may be classified under distinct tariff lines that carry their own compliance considerations.

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

The primary risk for importers at this tariff line is misclassification: width tolerances, film base material, and whether the product is colour or black-and-white each drive the correct 8-digit classification within Chapter 37. A customs re-classification to a tariff line covering colour film or a different dimensional bracket triggers retrospective compliance obligations and risks detention pending re-examination. Confirm the technical specification — base material, exact roll width, roll length, and image type — against the customs tariff entry before relying on the absence of compliance here.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 3702 43 10 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.
What changes if the photographic film roll is colour rather than black and white?
Colour sensitised film rolls are classified under separate tariff lines within Chapter 37 and may attract distinct compliance or duty treatment, making accurate colour-versus-monochrome specification essential at the time of import.
