Children’s film certified by the Central Board of Films Certification to be “Children’s Film”
Children's cinematographic film, 35 mm or wider, certified
HSN 3706 10 52 (children's film certified by the Central Board of Film Certification to be a "Children's Film", of a width of 35 mm or more) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other cinematographic film within Chapter 37 — particularly unexposed film stock or film of narrower width — may be classified under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct treatment.
The Central Board of Film Certification classification embedded in this tariff description is a product-definition criterion, not an import licence; nonetheless, misclassification risk is real if the certification status or film width is misstated on the bill of entry. Re-classification by customs to a broader or narrower tariff line — for instance, to uncertified film or to sub-35 mm film — triggers retrospective compliance review and potential detention. Importers should ensure the CBFC certification documents accompany the shipment to substantiate the tariff-line claim.
