Developed Motion-Picture Film, Less Than 35 mm Wide imports of $2K in June 2026 ran 89% below the year-to-date monthly average of $20K.
Sub-35 mm developed motion-picture film — encompassing 16 mm and 8 mm formats used in documentary, educational, archival, and independent cinema — is classified across three tariff lines: a general line (3706900000), positive release prints (3706900030), and a residual NESOI line (3706900060). Morocco leads US supply under this heading, an unusual sourcing pattern that may reflect specific production or post-production activity there, with the United Kingdom and France also among the top suppliers. The narrower gauge formats in this heading serve niche markets where digital distribution has not fully displaced physical film.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
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.
