Color (polychrome) photographic plates and flat film on non-paper, non-textile substrates — sensitized but unexposed — serve professional photography, proofing, and specialty imaging markets. Japan leads US import supply under this heading, with Austria also a notable source. The US schedule carries two active 10-digit lines: a general color flat film line (3701910000) and a residual 'other' color polychrome film line (3701910060); importers should confirm with manufacturers which line applies based on product specification and intended use.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Heading 370191 covers conventional sensitized flat film requiring separate development processing, while heading 370120 covers instant print film with integral self-developing chemistry. The presence or absence of built-in development reagents is the key technical and classification distinction.
Correct — heading 370191 is limited to color (polychrome) flat film. Black-and-white or monochrome sensitized flat film on non-paper substrates would fall under heading 370199 (NESOI), specifically into lines covering dry plates or other unexposed flat film not for color photography.
