Import Tips
• Provide end-use statements confirming industrial strapping application if CBP questions consumer vs. industrial classification
• Ensure no contamination with recycled PET content that might alter effective IV or polymer purity
• Document dry crystalline pellet form; amorphous PET may face different processing classification considerations
