Technical Gelatin for Photography from Mexico
Technical gelatin for photography is a high-purity gelatin used in photographic emulsions, not for printing plates. It is classified under tariff item 3503.00.00 as other gelatin derivatives of animal origin, since Chapter 49 excludes only gelatin products of the printing industry. The product is not hardened and not excluded by Chapter 35 notes.
