About heading 9802
Photographic films and dry plates manufactured in the United States (except motion-picture films to be used for commercial purposes) and exposed abroad, whether developed or not
Heading 9802 covers U.S.-made goods that are exported and then returned to the United States after repair, alteration, assembly or further processing abroad. Duty is normally charged only on the foreign value added, such as the repair cost or the processing cost, rather than on the full value of the returned article. The heading splits by use: exposed photographic film, warranty repairs, other repairs and alterations, metal articles sent abroad for further processing, and textile or apparel goods assembled abroad from U.S. components.
