Common questions
What is HS code 3701?
3701 is the HS 2022 heading for Photographic plates and film in the flat, sensitised, unexposed, of any material other than paper, paperboard or textiles; instant print film in the flat, sensitised, unexposed, whether or not in packs. It is in chapter 37 (Photographic or cinematographic goods), section VI, and has 5 six-digit subheadings, from 3701.10 to 3701.99.
Can I write 3701 on a commercial invoice?
Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 3701.10), and the import declaration uses the destination country’s full code of 8 to 10 digits. Use the subheading that matches your product, and confirm the national digits with the buyer, the customs broker or the official tariff.
