Import Tips

Verify film width is 35mm or greater and includes a soundtrack compatible with cinema projectors to confirm classification under 3706.10.30.00

Provide certificates of development and exposure, plus proof of suitability for motion-picture exhibits, to avoid misclassification as unexposed film

Check for any embedded data tracks that might trigger additional IT or software import regulations
