Adorama has two versions of the five-pack box of 120 format Kodak 160 NC. One is denoted "(Made in USA for International Use)" and costs $2.50 MORE than the plain "*USA*" version.

What is the difference between the films?

one is for those European or asian film photographers who need to support OUR economy more . Money coming back here, instead of going OVER THERE .

Usually the international version costs less, so that's a bit odd. The distinction is usually about special offers and loyalty rewards. If there's a deal, for instance, where you get some Kodak swag from Kodak USA for purchasing a certain number of units of film, it usually has to be film destined for the US market.
