Overview
This HTS classification, 3702.97.00.00, covers photographic film in rolls that is sensitized and unexposed, and not made of paper, paperboard, or textiles. Specifically, it applies to film with a width not exceeding 35 millimeters and a length that is greater than 30 meters. This category is crucial for distinguishing between different formats of unexposed photographic film based on their dimensions.
The key differentiator for this subcategory is the specific combination of film width and length. It stands apart from its sibling, 3702.96.00.00, which also has a width not exceeding 35 mm but is characterized by a length not exceeding 30 meters. Therefore, the length of the film roll is the primary distinguishing factor between these two closely related codes.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification to this specific code is determined solely by the physical dimensions of the photographic film. Importers and exporters should carefully measure both the width and length of their sensitized, unexposed film to ensure accurate classification under this heading, particularly when dealing with film rolls intended for professional photographic or specialized applications where longer lengths are commonly utilized.
