The dividing line is a width of exactly 35 mm: film exceeding 35 mm in width falls under 370298 regardless of roll length, while film at or below 35 mm with a roll length over 30 meters falls under 370297. Both must be sensitized, unexposed, and not on paper or paperboard substrates.
Chinese-origin photographic film may be subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers sourcing from China should verify the current Section 301 list status for this product and factor any additional duties into landed-cost calculations.
