Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified as instant print film in flat packs
Dry plates are distinct from instant print films, which have a separate residual subheading even if flat and sensitized.
If containing unexposed silver salts but prepared for holographic use
Plates specifically for holography fall under heading 3705, separate from general dry plates in 3701.
If glass plates are silvered for mirror applications
Silvered glass with metallic coatings for mirrors shifts to Chapter 71 for articles of precious metal or coated materials.
