Metallized PET Reflective Sheeting
Metallized PET film used in safety signage and apparel for retroreflective properties. Falls under HTS 3920.62.0050 as other metallized poly(ethylene terephthalate) film, non-reinforced, noncellular polyester per 95% monomer rule. Typically 0.05-0.10mm thick sheets in rolls.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
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
• Document reflectivity specs and metallization type (aluminum vacuum-coated) to prevent confusion with glass bead reflectives
• Ensure no lamination/support; pure metallized PET film stays in 3920.62, else to 3920.63
