Import Tips
• Include melt flow index and IV test reports from accredited labs; CBP may require re-testing for verification
• Label shipments clearly as 'PET resin IV 78-88 ml/g' and segregate from other IV grades to prevent commingling during customs exam
• Watch for reclassification if pellets contain additives exceeding 5% by weight, potentially shifting to 'other' polyester categories
