Import Tips & Compliance
• Document exact width (65mm exceeds 35mm threshold) with manufacturer specs to confirm 3706.10.60 applicability
• Avoid bundling with prints; separate shipments for negatives to prevent aggregation into 3706.10.30
• Comply with archival storage declarations if film contains irreplaceable footage, aiding valuation disputes
