Sourcing this category from India

HS 3704.00 covers Photographic plates, film, paper, paperboard and textiles; exposed but not developed. It is a leaf classification, so it sets the duty line directly for goods that fall under it. Global trade in photographic goods has contracted with digital imaging, and India's activity here is modest and import-driven. India exported $3K under this code worldwide in 2024, ranking #1 of 1 lines in its heading (UN Comtrade).

How to read this code

3704.00 is the six-digit HS subheading for photographic plates, film, paper, paperboard and t. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many chemicals & allied industries lines — check our import guides for your market.
