Import Tips
• 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
