Last updated: August 2026 dataSilver halide photographic film in rolls without sprocket holes and not exceeding 105 mm in width covers two distinct product segments: microfilm used for document archiving and records management (3702320130), and other silver halide roll film not elsewhere specified (3702320160). Japan and the United Kingdom are the leading US suppliers, with Czech Republic and Belgium also notable sources — a supplier geography that reflects the small number of remaining silver halide film manufacturers globally. Microfilm remains in active use for long-term archival applications in government, legal, and library settings, sustaining a niche but stable import demand.

Microfilm is valued for archival longevity — properly processed silver gelatin microfilm has a documented life expectancy exceeding 500 years under controlled storage conditions, far exceeding the practical lifespan of most digital storage media. Government agencies, national archives, and legal records repositories continue to specify microfilm for permanent records, sustaining import demand for this otherwise declining product category.
Line 3702320130 covers microfilm specifically — roll film designed for document microphotography — while 3702320160 captures all other silver halide roll film without sprocket holes in this width range. The distinction matters because microfilm and general-purpose roll film may carry different duty rates, and CBP may request technical specifications or manufacturer documentation to confirm that a product meets the microfilm definition rather than defaulting to the residual line.
