Import Tips
• Include melt flow index and IV certificates; CBP often tests random samples for specification compliance
• Label packages clearly with 'PET IV 70-78 ml/g - HTS 3907.69.0010' to facilitate customs processing
• Beware of blended resins; if PET <95% by weight, reclassifies per Chapter 39 polymer notes
