Overview
This HTS code, 3706.90.00, serves as a residual category for exposed and developed motion-picture film that does not fit into the more specific classification of 35 mm or wider films (3706.10). It encompasses a variety of film formats and types, provided they are exposed and developed, and may or may not include an integrated sound track. The key criterion for inclusion here is the absence of the 35 mm width specification, meaning it covers films of lesser widths.
Unlike the sibling category 3706.10, which is exclusively for films with a width of 35 millimeters or more, this category captures all other exposed and developed motion-picture films. This distinction is based on a precise physical measurement, ensuring that films of different dimensions are classified appropriately. Therefore, if a film is developed, includes images (and potentially sound), but measures less than 35 mm in width, it would fall under 3706.90.00.
Within this category, further sub-classifications exist to provide greater specificity. The subcategory 3706.90.00.30 pertains to "Positive release prints," which are typically duplicates of original negatives used for distribution. The remaining films, those not fitting the description of positive release prints, are classified under 3706.90.00.60 as "Other." This hierarchical structure allows for detailed tracking and reporting of various types of motion-picture film entering or leaving a country.
