PET Resin for Clear Plastic Bottles
Granular polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin with a viscosity number of 70-78 ml/g, used primarily for blow-molding into clear beverage bottles. This specific intrinsic viscosity range ensures optimal melt strength and clarity for thin-walled containers. Classified under HTS 3907.69.0010 as PET in primary form meeting the exact viscosity specification.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing 50% or more by weight of recycled PET
PET with significant recycled content shifts to subheading 3907.60 regardless of viscosity due to material composition priority.
If viscosity number 78 ml/g or higher
Higher IV PET resins for stronger applications like tire cords fall into the next viscosity-specific subheading.
If extruded into sheets or film rather than primary granules
Once processed beyond primary form into non-cellular sheets, classification moves from Chapter 39 heading 3907 to plates/sheets in 3920.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain manufacturer's specification sheet confirming viscosity number between 70-78 ml/g to match HTS 3907.69.0010 exactly
• Include IV test certificates from accredited labs; CBP may require verification of polymer purity >95% PET monomers
• Avoid misclassification as recycled PET (3907.60); declare virgin status clearly on entry documents
