U.S. exports of large-format photographic plates and flat film (any side exceeding 255 mm) (HS 370130) totaled $16.5M in July 2026.
Importers of Large-Format Photographic Plates and Flat Film (Any Side Exceeding 255 mm) paid $2.8M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 23% on $12.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataLarge-format sensitized photographic plates and flat film — where at least one dimension exceeds 255 mm — serve specialized professional applications including graphic arts, scientific imaging, and industrial radiography. Germany and Japan are the primary US suppliers, consistent with their established roles in precision photographic materials manufacturing. The entire heading consolidates into a single 10-digit line (3701300000), so classification is straightforward once the dimensional threshold is confirmed; the critical step is verifying that the substrate is not paper, paperboard, or textile, which would redirect classification elsewhere in Chapter 37.

Heading 3701 explicitly excludes photographic materials on paper, paperboard, or textile bases — those fall under heading 3703. Only plates and flat film on other substrates (typically polyester or acetate base) qualify under 3701300000, regardless of size.
The two size ranges are classified under different subheadings within heading 3701, so mixed shipments must be itemized by size on the commercial invoice and entry documentation. Lumping them under a single line risks misclassification; CBP may request measurement verification for borderline cases.
