This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If medium IV for film applications
Film-grade PET often uses lower IV resins classified separately in the PET series.
If predominant polypropylene terephthalate content
Classification follows predominant monomer unit per subheading note (a)(4).
If imported as pre-oriented film rolls
Semi-processed film classified as plates/sheets rather than primary resin form.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include processing aids declaration; additives under 5% weight typically don't affect polymer classification
• Maintain chain of custody for IV testing from production to ensure audit-proof documentation
• Beware of transesterification products that may qualify as chemically modified under note (a)(3)
