Last updated: July 2026 dataNarrow-gauge motion-picture film — widths below 35 mm, historically including 16 mm and Super 8 — is classified here after exposure and development, covering educational, documentary, news, and amateur film formats. While digital video has largely displaced narrow-gauge film in professional production, 16 mm remains active in documentary filmmaking, music videos, and art-house production, sustaining a niche import and export market for developed prints. Sound-track-only narrow-gauge film is also captured here, relevant for certain archival and restoration workflows.

No — the heading does not distinguish by intended use or genre. All developed cinematograph film under 35 mm, whether for theatrical, documentary, educational, or archival purposes, is classified here. End-use documentation may be relevant for valuation or temporary importation purposes, but it does not change the SITC classification.
The dividing line is 35 mm: film of exactly 35 mm or wider falls under the separate wide-gauge heading, while all developed cinematograph film narrower than 35 mm — including 16 mm, 9.5 mm, and Super 8 — is classified here. Film width should be confirmed from the product specification or laboratory documentation.
