Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

3907.61.00Same rate: 41.5%

If for direct food contact packaging applications

PET specifically for packaging food falls under the dedicated subheading based on end-use specification.

5503.20.00Lower: 39.3% vs 41.5%

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.

3908.90Lower: 16.5% vs 41.5%

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
