High Viscosity PET Resin Pellets from Canada

Granular polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin with a viscosity number of 78 ml/g or higher, used primarily for producing high-strength bottles and packaging films. This falls under HTS 3907.61.00.50 as PET in primary form meeting the specified viscosity threshold, classified as 'Other' within the high viscosity series.

Import Tips

Verify intrinsic viscosity (IV) through lab testing to confirm ≥78 ml/g, as documentation is required for classification

Provide certificates of analysis showing monomer composition where PET units exceed 95% by weight per Chapter 39 notes

Avoid misdeclaration as lower viscosity PET (3907.60), which could trigger audits and penalties
