Import Tips
• 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
