Movies made by foreign production companies? Movies made by US companies filmed outside the US? What if they're made by a foreign company but filmed inside the US? What if it's streamed from a foreign location? Is that the same as importing? Trump probably thinks of movies as physical objects as they once were, long strips of film on big reels that are put in boxes and shipped to theaters. But now they are, or can be, incorporeal electronic entities that can be transmitted to and from anywhere without any physical object crossing a border. If streaming from a location outside the US is considering importing, does that make it a service rather than a product, and is he now tariffing services?
