Roll-format color (polychrome) photographic film without sprocket holes and not exceeding 105 mm in width โ the format used in medium-format and specialty cameras โ is classified here, with the entire heading consolidating into a single US tariff line (3702310100). Japan is the dominant supplier, consistent with its leading role in analog film manufacturing, with Lithuania also a source. The absence of sprocket holes distinguishes this film from 35 mm perforated cinema and still-camera film, making physical format verification a key classification step.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page โ verify before relying on it.
Medium-format roll films such as 120 and 220 format (approximately 61 mm wide) and other specialty unperforated roll films up to 105 mm wide are the primary commercial products in this classification. Standard 35 mm perforated still-camera film is excluded because it has sprocket holes and falls under a different subheading.
Color (polychrome) unperforated roll film under 105 mm falls under heading 370231 (3702310100), while black-and-white or non-color film of the same format falls under heading 370232 (silver halide emulsion) or 370239 (other). Mixed shipments must be itemized by emulsion type on the entry documentation.
