Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If PET copolymer with specific comonomers ≥95%
Named copolymers have dedicated subheadings per note (a)(2).
If further processed into finished industrial parts
Completed articles move out of primary polymers to 3926 'Other articles'.
If industrial low-viscosity grade
Viscosity threshold determines subheading series placement.

The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right HTS code — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Bulk shipments need proper ventilation to prevent moisture absorption affecting IV
• Cross-check against copolymer subheadings if comonomer >5% by weight
• Avoid bulk packaging confusion with retail sets under 3924 household exclusions
