Last updated: April 2026 dataSensitized, unexposed X-ray film in flat (sheet) form is a critical consumable for medical imaging and industrial non-destructive testing, and the US tariff schedule distinguishes medical (non-dental) flat X-ray film (3701100030) from non-medical and non-dental applications (3701100060). Belgium and Japan are the leading suppliers to the US market, reflecting the concentration of advanced photographic materials manufacturing in those countries. Classification hinges on the declared end-use — medical versus industrial — so importers should document intended application carefully to ensure the correct 10-digit line is used.

CBP may request commercial invoices, product specifications, or manufacturer data sheets that clearly identify the intended end-use (e.g., medical diagnostic imaging vs. industrial flaw detection). The distinction drives classification between 3701100030 (medical, non-dental) and 3701100060 (non-medical/non-dental), so maintaining clear product documentation from the manufacturer is essential.
Unexposed sensitized X-ray film is a photographic material, not a medical device or drug, so it does not typically trigger FDA device review. However, if the film is marketed as part of a regulated diagnostic imaging system, importers should confirm the regulatory status with their customs broker or legal counsel, as device classification can depend on how the product is labeled and promoted.
