Fujifilm Etercolor Unsensitized Emulsion Base from China

Fujifilm's Etercolor unsensitized emulsion is a high-purity dispersion of color-sensitive silver bromoiodide crystals in aqueous gelatin, optimized for negative image formation in photographic paper. Classified under HTS 3707.90.32.10 due to its role as an unmixed chemical preparation solely for color negative paper production. It enables the creation of visible images through light action on subsequently sensitized surfaces.

Import Tips

Provide manufacturer's specification confirming unsensitized state and exclusive use in color negative paper to prevent misclassification as film emulsions

Ensure temperature-controlled shipping manifests as emulsions are perishable and prone to degradation

Label with exact silver content for accurate duty assessment and EPA import notifications
