Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If viscosity below 70 ml/g
Lower IV PET for injection molding applications uses different subheading in the PET series.
If chemically modified with polyethylene copolymer units >5%
Copolymers not meeting 95% PET monomer requirement classify by predominant monomer under different polymer heading.
If preformed into bottle preforms
Processed into shaped articles beyond primary form moves from resins (39.07) to plastic articles (39.23).

Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare exact IV range on commercial invoice; discrepancies can trigger reclassification to adjacent viscosity subheadings
• Provide FTIR analysis confirming >95% PET homopolymer content per subheading note (a)(1)
• Segregate shipments by IV range to prevent commingling with 3907.61 material during customs exam
