Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If assembled into finished reflective tape with adhesive and liner
Becomes 'other articles of plastics' under 3926 when configured as tape rather than plain sheet.
If vinyl-based with PET minor component
Predominant monomer (PVC) rules per note (a)(4) classify under vinyl polymers, not polyester.
If textile-backed metallized film
Laminated or supported with textile material shifts to Chapter 59 textile-covered plastics.

Import Tips & Compliance
β’ Document reflectivity specs and metallization type (aluminum vacuum-coated) to prevent confusion with glass bead reflectives
β’ Ensure no lamination/support; pure metallized PET film stays in 3920.62, else to 3920.63
