Products classified under HTS 3915.90.00.10

PET Bottle Scrap Flakes

Cleaned and flaked waste material from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, typically sourced from post-consumer beverage containers. Classified under HTS 3915.90.0010 as scrap of PET plastics, meeting the chapter note requirement where PET monomer units constitute 95% or more by weight.

PET Preform Scrap

Waste parings and trimmings from manufacturing PET preforms used for blow-molding bottles. Falls under HTS 3915.90.0010 as PET scrap where the material is predominantly polyethylene terephthalate per chapter polymer classification rules.

Post-Consumer PET Sheet Scrap

Recycled scrap from PET thermoformed sheets used in packaging trays and clamshells. HTS 3915.90.0010 applies to this PET-dominant waste material conforming to the 95% monomer content requirement in subheading notes.

PET Fiber Waste Clippings

Short fiber clippings and waste from spinning polyethylene terephthalate into textile yarns or nonwovens. Classified as PET scrap under 3915.90.0010 when PET monomers predominate by weight over other units.

PET Tray Scrap Flakes

Flaked waste from recycled PET food trays and blister packs, post-consumer or industrial. Meets HTS 3915.90.0010 for PET plastics scrap with 95%+ PET content as per chapter note (a)(1).

PET Strap Waste Bands

Scrap bands and trimmings from extruded polyethylene terephthalate strapping used in packaging. HTS 3915.90.0010 covers this as PET scrap where the polymer meets the predominant monomer weight rule.

PET Film Edge Trimmings

Narrow edge trimmings and waste rolls from slitting PET films used in labels and packaging. Fits HTS 3915.90.0010 as PET parings where monomer content exceeds 95% by weight.

Recycled PET Punch Waste

Punched-out waste pieces from die-cutting PET sheets for cards and displays. Under HTS 3915.90.0010 for PET scrap complying with polymer content provisions in subheading notes.

PET Container Lid Scrap

Waste from thermoformed PET lids on food containers, recycled into flakes. HTS 3915.90.0010 applies to this PET-dominant scrap per the 95% monomer threshold.

PET Yarn Spinning Waste

Noils and waste from ring spinning PET polyester yarn production. Classifies under 3915.90.0010 as PET scrap where PET units predominate.
