PET Heat-Shrinkable Film
A noncellular, unreinforced film made from poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) designed for heat-shrink applications on bottles and containers. It meets the 95%+ PET monomer content requirement per Chapter 39 notes, classifying it under 3920.62.00 as PET film not combined with other materials. Commonly used in packaging for tamper-evident seals.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If chemically modified or blended below 95% PET
Per subheading note (a)(3), chemically modified PET or blends not meeting 95% go to 'Other' subheadings.
If printed or surface-worked for retail sale
Surface-worked or decorated sheets fall under 3921 if prepared for immediate use, not plain film.
If made of polycarbonate instead of PET
Different polymer base changes the specific polyester subheading to polycarbonate series.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify PET monomer content exceeds 95% by weight via lab testing to confirm 3920.62.00 classification per subheading notes
• Provide detailed technical specs and SDS sheets; avoid misclassification as generic polyester under 3920.69
• Check for reinforcements or laminations, which shift to 3920.99; common pitfall is unlisted printings
