3706 - Motion-picture film, exposed and developed, whether or not incorporating sound track or consisting only of sound track:

This HTS category, 3706, specifically covers motion-picture film that has been both exposed (recorded with images) and developed (chemically processed to reveal those images). This includes film that contains an integrated soundtrack or even consists solely of a soundtrack. The key characteristic is that the film is ready for projection or reproduction, having undergone the necessary steps from recording to processing.

Within Section VI, Chapter 37, this category is situated among other photographic and cinematographic goods. Unlike earlier chapters that deal with live animals or other raw materials, Chapter 37 focuses on finished or semi-finished products related to image capture and reproduction. Category 3706 is distinct from raw film stock or undeveloped photographic plates by its completed state of exposure and development.

The subcategories within 3706 further refine the classification based on the physical dimensions of the film. Category 3706.10 pertains to film that measures 35 millimeters or more in width, typically associated with professional cinema production. Category 3706.90.00 encompasses all other types of exposed and developed motion-picture film that do not meet the width requirement of 3706.10, potentially including formats like 8mm or 16mm film.
