PET Shrink Film for Packaging from Japan
Clear, noncellular PET film designed to shrink when heated, used for labeling bottles and packaging goods. It is classified under HTS 3920.62.00.90 as a non-reinforced sheet of poly(ethylene terephthalate) polyester, not combined with other materials. This specific type falls into the 'Other' subheading as it does not meet criteria for more specific PET film categories.
