Sensitised unexposed photographic roll film, 16-35 mm wide, over 30 m

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 3702 55 90 (other sensitised unexposed photographic roll film, width exceeding 16 mm but not exceeding 35 mm, length exceeding 30 m) 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 or cinematographic film products within Chapter 37 — particularly those of differing widths, lengths, or intended for motion-picture use — may fall under separate tariff lines with distinct compliance considerations.

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

The principal risk for this tariff line is misclassification: film of a width exceeding 35 mm, film of a length not exceeding 30 m, or instant print film in rolls each occupies a distinct subheading within Chapter 37, and a re-classification on examination by customs triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify the precise physical specifications — width, length, and film type — against the customs tariff before import to ensure the correct tariff line is declared.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 3702 55 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.
What changes if the photographic film exceeds 35 mm in width or differs in length?
Film outside the 16–35 mm width band or the over-30 m length specification falls under separate subheadings within Chapter 37, which may carry distinct classification and compliance consequences upon customs examination.
