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
