More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for direct food contact packaging applications
PET specifically for packaging food falls under the dedicated subheading based on end-use specification.
If imported as pre-oriented yarn (POY) rather than primary chips
Processed into synthetic filament requires classification as man-made staple fibers, not primary polymers.
If copolymerized with significant polyamide units
Copolymers where neither PET nor single monomer predominates shift to other polyamides or polyesters.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide melt flow index and intrinsic viscosity specs to distinguish textile-grade from bottle-grade PET
• Ensure no plasticizers added, as they could invoke subheading notes for reclassification
