HS Code 370790

HS code 370790 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Chemical preparations for photographic uses (other than varnishes, glues, adhesives and similar preparations); unmixed products for photographic uses, put up in measured portions or put up for retail sale in a form ready for use : Other". The first two digits (37) are the chapter — Photographic or cinematographic goods — and digits 3-4 (3707) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 370790 include photo chemicals, developer, fixer, stop bath, film chemistry and similar items matching chemical preparations for photographic uses. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

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.

The first 6 digits (370790) 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.

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.
