Photographic plates and film; exposed and developed, other than cinematographic film
In plain English
This category covers photographic plates and film that have already been exposed and developed, excluding any material used for cinematography. The classification does not distinguish between different types of these items, as there is only one subheading for the entire group. Consequently, all exposed and developed photographic plates and film fall under this single entry.
