Last updated: April 2026 dataColor photographic film wider than 35 mm in roll form covers two commercially distinct segments: motion-picture film (3702560030), used in professional cinema production, and other wide-format color film (3702560060) for large-format still photography and specialty imaging. Motion-picture film in this width is a high-value, technically demanding product subject to tight emulsion specifications. Germany and Japan lead US supply, with China, the United Kingdom, and Belgium also present in the import mix.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Motion-picture film is characterized by its perforated edges (sprocket holes) designed for camera and projector transport mechanisms, its specific emulsion formulations for cinema exposure and processing, and its packaging in camera rolls or laboratory rolls. Importers should provide manufacturer product descriptions and technical data sheets confirming the intended use to support classification under the motion-picture line versus the NESOI line.
Neither Germany nor Japan is currently subject to broad Section 301 or antidumping measures on photographic film of this type. However, importers should verify the current tariff schedule and any applicable Section 232 or other trade-remedy orders with a licensed customs broker at the time of entry, as trade-remedy coverage can change.
