Questions
HS code 370690: common questions
What is HS code 370690?
HS code 370690 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Cinematographic film, exposed and developed, whether or not incorporating soundtrack or consisting only of soundtrack : Other". The first two digits (37) are the chapter — Photographic or cinematographic goods — and digits 3-4 (3706) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 370690?
Common products classified under 370690 include 16mm film, 8mm film, Super 8, developed movie film and similar items matching cinematographic film. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 370690?
Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.
Is HS code 370690 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (370690) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.
Can I trust the HS code a 1688 supplier gives me?
Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
