Import Tips
• Use FIAF (International Federation of Film Archives) standards for documentation to prove feature film status and avoid short film classification
• Check for thermosensitive processing; if applicable, note 'photographic' definition per chapter notes
• Separate sound track-only reels if imported alone, as they may qualify under sound-only subheading
