U.S. exports of color photographic film rolls, not over 16 mm wide, sensitized unexposed (HS 370252) totaled $427K in July 2026, traded with 1 country.
Last updated: July 2026 dataNarrow-gauge color photographic film not exceeding 16 mm in width encompasses both reversal (slide/transparency) stock and other color negative formats used in sub-16 mm cinematography and specialty still photography. The US schedule separates reversal color film (3702520130) from other color film in this width (3702520160). Germany dominates US supply under this heading, with the Czech Republic as a secondary source — a concentration that reflects the limited number of remaining manufacturers of narrow-gauge color film globally.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Reversal film is processed to yield a positive image directly (slides or transparencies), while other color film in this width typically produces a negative. The US tariff schedule distinguishes these at the 10-digit level (3702520130 for reversal; 3702520160 for others), so importers must confirm the processing type from the manufacturer's product specification to ensure correct classification.
The global market for narrow-gauge color film has contracted sharply with the transition to digital video, leaving only a handful of specialty manufacturers active. German producers have maintained production lines serving the professional and artistic cinematography communities that still use film, which explains the concentration of US supply from that origin.
