It falls under HTS 3702.56.00.30 as it is unexposed, sensitized film in rolls wider than 35mm specifically for motion-picture use in color photography. The film's polychrome emulsion captures full-color images via light-sensitive layers.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify film width exceeds 35mm and confirm motion-picture designation via manufacturer specs to avoid reclassification to narrower formats

• Include detailed technical data sheets showing unexposed, sensitized status and polychrome properties for CBP review

• Check for hazardous material declarations due to silver halide content; common pitfall is improper storage documentation during transit
