3923.40.00.10 - Photographic film reels and reel cans

This HTS category, 3923.40.00.10, specifically encompasses reels and reel cans manufactured from plastic materials, which are designed for the storage and conveyance of photographic film. These items are characterized by their specialized construction to protect and manage rolls of photographic film, ensuring their integrity during handling and transport.

The distinction from its sibling category, 3923.40.00.50 "Other," is crucial. While both fall under spools, cops, bobbins, and similar supports of plastic, the .10 subheading is exclusive to those intended for photographic film. This means any plastic reels or reel cans not intended for photographic film, but for other purposes such as thread, wire, or other materials, would be classified under the "Other" subheading.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on the specific characteristics and intended use of these plastic photographic film reels and reel cans to ensure accurate classification. The primary classification driver is the material (plastic) and the specific application (storage/conveyance of photographic film).
