Of a width exceeding 610 mm and of a length exceeding 200 m, other than for color photography

HTS code 3702.42.01.00 classifies imports of: Of a width exceeding 610 mm and of a length exceeding 200 m, other than for color photography. This line sits within Chapter 37 (Photographic plates and film in the flat, sensitized, unexposed, of any material other than paper, paperboard or textiles; instant print film in the flat, sensitized, unexposed, whether or not in packs:), Section VI (Products of the Chemical or Allied Industries), and is catalogued as a tariff line in the USITC 2026 Basic Edition. Duty is calculated against units of quantity: m2. Getting the classification right is the single most important step in import compliance — a wrong code can mean overpayment of duty, shipment delays, or penalties at the border.

The general (MFN / Column 1 General) rate for HTS 3702.42.01.00 is 3.7%, which applies to most trading partners of the United States. A special preferential rate of "Free (A,AU,BH,CL,CO,D,E,IL,JO,KR,MA,OM,P,PA,PE,S,SG)" may reduce or eliminate duty when goods qualify under a free trade agreement such as USMCA, CAFTA-DR, or one of the bilateral FTAs. The Column 2 rate of 25% applies to imports from non-MFN countries such as Cuba and North Korea — a much higher historical "full" tariff.

Beyond the published rate, importers should check for Section 201 safeguards, Section 301 China tariffs, and any active AD/CVD orders that can materially change the real landed cost.
