3907.61.00.10/PET Resin for Bottled Water Containers/China

PET Resin for Bottled Water Containers from China

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) resin with a viscosity number of 78-88 ml/g, supplied in primary pellet form for blow molding into single-use water bottles. This specific intrinsic viscosity range ensures optimal clarity, strength, and processability for thin-walled beverage packaging. Classified under HTS 3907.61.00.10 due to its PET composition and precise viscosity specification in primary forms.

Import Tips

• Verify viscosity number via ISO 1628 testing and include certificates of analysis in documentation to confirm classification within 78-88 ml/g range

• Ensure pellets are in primary form (not preforms or finished bottles) and provide manufacturer specs showing PET monomer content exceeds 95% by weight

• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as general PET (3907.61.00) by specifying exact IV range; check for copolymer content affecting predominance
