Subheadings
Products classified under HTS 3907.61.00
High Viscosity PET Resin for Bottles
Poly(ethylene terephthalate) resin with a viscosity number of 78 ml/g or higher, supplied in primary pellet form for extrusion into preforms used in beverage bottles. This high IV grade ensures strength and clarity for blow-molded PET containers. Classified under 3907.61.00 due to its PET composition and specified viscosity meeting the subheading criteria.
PET Chips IV 0.80 dl/g for Strapping
Granular PET resin with intrinsic viscosity equivalent to 78 ml/g or higher, designed for producing plastic strapping bands used in packaging. The elevated viscosity provides the tensile strength required for industrial strapping applications. Falls under HTS 3907.61.00 as primary form PET meeting the viscosity threshold.
Biaxially Oriented PET Resin Pellets
High molecular weight PET pellets (viscosity number ≥78 ml/g) formulated for biaxially oriented film production used in food packaging and labels. Provides excellent barrier properties and printability when processed. Classified in 3907.61.00 for primary form PET resins meeting the IV specification.
PET Preform Resin High IV Grade
Specialty PET resin pellets with viscosity number exceeding 78 ml/g, optimized for injection molding into preforms for carbonated beverage bottles. The high IV prevents creep and maintains carbonation retention. HTS 3907.61.00 applies to this primary form PET per viscosity criteria.
Industrial PET Resin for Fiber Production
High viscosity PET chips (VN ≥78 ml/g) specifically compounded for melt spinning into polyester staple fibers and filament yarns. Provides superior drawability and tensile properties for textile applications. Primary form classification under 3907.61.00 based on PET composition and viscosity.
PET Granules for Sheet Extrusion
Pelletized PET resin with intrinsic viscosity corresponding to 78 ml/g or higher, intended for extruding into rigid sheets for thermoforming applications like trays and displays. High melt strength from elevated IV prevents web breaks. Classified 3907.61.00 as primary PET meeting subheading specs.
High Clarity PET Resin for Jars
Premium PET pellets with viscosity number of 80+ ml/g optimized for wide-mouth jar preforms used in food packaging like peanut butter and jams. Exceptional clarity and drop impact resistance from high molecular weight. HTS 3907.61.00 for primary form high IV PET.
PET Engineering Resin High IV
High performance PET resin pellets (VN ≥78 ml/g) for engineering applications like electrical connectors and appliance housings requiring high heat deflection. Provides dimensional stability superior to standard packaging PET. Primary form under 3907.61.00 per viscosity and composition.
