Bottle-Grade PET Chips
PET polymer chips designed for blow-molded beverage bottles, exhibiting high viscosity (≥78 ml/g) for superior mechanical strength. Classified under HTS 3907.61.00.50 as high-viscosity PET in primary forms, excluding specific copolymer variants.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If viscosity number below 78 ml/g
Sub-78 ml/g PET uses the lower viscosity subheading for staple fibers.
If imported as preforms rather than resin
PET preforms are shaped articles, not primary forms, moving to Chapter 39 plates/sheets.
If processed into synthetic filament yarn
Once extruded into fibers, it shifts from primary polymers to man-made filaments in Chapter 54.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include melt flow index and IV test reports in entry docs to substantiate high viscosity claim
• Ensure pellets are in primary form (not preforms); compounded products go to 3907.99
• Check for recycling content, as post-consumer recycled PET may require additional origin verification
