3706.10 - Of a width of 35 mm or more:

This HTS category, 3706.10, specifically covers exposed and developed motion-picture film that has a width of 35 millimeters or more. This classification applies regardless of whether the film incorporates a soundtrack or consists solely of a soundtrack. The defining characteristic is the physical dimension of the film strip, placing it in a distinct group from narrower films or other types of photographic and cinematographic goods.

Compared to its sibling category 3706.90, which encompasses "Other" exposed and developed motion-picture film, 3706.10 is precisely defined by its width. This distinction ensures that films meeting the 35 mm or greater width requirement are accurately classified, separating them from any other motion-picture film that falls outside this specific dimensional criterion.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on the content and purpose of the film. Subcategory 3706.10.30.00 addresses sound recordings on motion-picture film that are specifically suitable for use with motion-picture exhibits, indicating a direct link to theatrical or commercial exhibition. The remaining film within this width specification falls under 3706.10.60, "Other," which would encompass films not exclusively dedicated to exhibition sound recordings, such as industrial films or archival material of the specified width.
