Sensitised unexposed photographic film rolls, wider than 35 mm

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 3702 56 90 (other sensitised unexposed photographic film in rolls exceeding 35 mm width) 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 and cinematographic goods within Chapter 37 — including instant print film and film for specific professional or medical imaging applications — may be classified under more specific tariff lines that carry distinct compliance.

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

The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all photographic film formats: narrower-width film, film for specific end-uses, and instant print film in rolls are each classified separately within Chapter 37 and may attract their own requirements. Re-classification by customs on examination — based on width measurement, emulsion type, or declared end-use — triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending resolution. Verify the physical specification and intended application against the customs tariff schedule before relying on the absence of compliance here.
