PET Chips IV 0.80 dl/g for Strapping from Germany
Granular PET resin with intrinsic viscosity equivalent to 78 ml/g or higher, designed for producing plastic strapping bands used in packaging. The elevated viscosity provides the tensile strength required for industrial strapping applications. Falls under HTS 3907.61.00 as primary form PET meeting the viscosity threshold.

Import Tips
• Request melt flow index and IV test reports from manufacturer to substantiate high viscosity classification
• Label shipments clearly as 'PET resin, viscosity 78+ ml/g' to prevent confusion with textile-grade PET
• Check for copolymer content; blends may require predominant monomer analysis under chapter notes
