Morocco has developed a notable film production and post-production infrastructure, partly driven by international co-productions and location shooting. Sub-35 mm formats used in documentary and educational productions originating there may account for the trade flow, though importers should verify origin documentation carefully given the specificity of this sourcing pattern.
Each gauge must be classified separately: 35 mm and wider film falls under heading 370610, while film narrower than 35 mm falls under 370690. A mixed shipment should be invoiced and entered with separate line items for each gauge to ensure correct classification and duty assessment.
