U.S. imports of color slide film rolls, over 16 mm but not over 35 mm wide and not over 30 m long (HS 370253) totaled $20K in June 2026, traded with 2 countries.
Color Slide Film Rolls, Over 16 mm but Not Over 35 mm Wide and Not Over 30 m Long imports of $20K in June 2026 ran 206% above the year-to-date monthly average of $6K.
Reversal color film formatted for slides — over 16 mm and up to 35 mm wide, in rolls not exceeding 30 m — is the classic medium for 35 mm slide photography and medium-format transparency work. Three US tariff lines under this heading distinguish general slide film (3702530000), 35 mm slide film specifically (3702530030), and other slide film excluding 35 mm (3702530060). Canada and Japan are the leading suppliers, with the Czech Republic, France, and Germany also present — a supply base that reflects both repackaging operations and surviving specialty emulsion manufacturers.

The distinction turns on the actual width of the film. Film measuring exactly 35 mm wide and formatted for slides classifies under 3702530030. Slide film in other widths within the over-16-mm-to-35-mm range — such as 120-format medium-format film cut to narrower widths — would fall under 3702530060. Width measurement and the reversal (slide) processing intent must both be confirmed.
Sensitized unexposed photographic film is not subject to FSIS, FDA, or APHIS admissibility review. Standard CBP entry documentation — commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading — is generally sufficient. However, importers should ensure country-of-origin marking complies with 19 CFR Part 134 requirements.
