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
