Overview
This HTS category, 3706.10.60.90, covers "Other" exposed and developed motion-picture film of a width of 35 mm or more, excluding feature films. It encompasses a range of cinematographic content that does not fall under the specific classification of feature films, which are typically narrative-driven productions intended for theatrical release. This residual category ensures that all qualifying exposed and developed film of this width, regardless of its specific content type (e.g., documentaries, short films, experimental works, newsreels, or advertising material), is correctly classified.
The distinction from its sibling, "Feature films," is crucial. While both are exposed and developed motion-picture films of 35 mm or more, this category specifically excludes films primarily produced as narrative entertainment for commercial distribution in cinemas. Therefore, if a film is documentary in nature, educational, or promotional, it would be classified here rather than under the feature film heading. The key determinant for this exclusion is the primary purpose and format of the film's content.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 3706.10.60.90 is final for any exposed and developed motion-picture film of 35 mm or greater width that is not considered a feature film. Importers and exporters should carefully assess the content and intended purpose of their cinematographic goods to ensure accurate classification, differentiating them from the more specific "feature film" category.
