Import Tips

• Verify film content is a feature-length film (>40 min) via script or runtime certification to avoid reclassification as short films under 3706.10.60.30

• Include customs documentation proving non-theatrical release status, such as distribution contracts or affidavits from the producer

• Ensure proper labeling of film width (35mm+) and development status; undeclared soundtracks can trigger audits
