Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'PET resin for fiber production' with IV specifications to distinguish from bottle-grade under 3907.62
• Ensure FDA compliance if eventual end-use is food-contact textiles, requiring additional monomer purity documentation
• Watch for blending declarations; mixtures under 95% PET may classify by predominant monomer per subheading note (a)(4)
