Overview
This HTS category, 3702.55.00, specifically covers photographic film in rolls, sensitized and unexposed, for color photography. The defining characteristics for this classification are its width, which must exceed 16 mm but not exceed 35 mm, and its length, which must be greater than 30 meters. This film can be made from various materials other than paper, paperboard, or textiles, and is intended for color photographic processes.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 3702.55.00 applies to rolls of film with specific dimensions of width and length. It differs from 3702.52.01 which covers narrower film (not exceeding 16 mm), and from 3702.53.00 and 3702.54.00 which are for film of similar width but a shorter length (not exceeding 30 m), with a further distinction between film for slides and other applications. It also differs from 3702.56.00, which classifies wider film (exceeding 35 mm).
Within this broad category, further distinctions are made at the sub-level. The subcategories address specific types of reversal color film, a particular format of color photographic film, versus other types of color photographic film that do not fall into the reversal category. These subdivisions allow for more precise classification based on the film's processing characteristics and intended photographic output.
