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
