Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

3920.62.00Same rate: 41.7%

If PET homopolymer with 95%+ ethylene terephthalate units

PET specifically named in 3920.62; prefix 'poly' requires 95% monomer per note (a)(1).

3923.10.90.00Lower: 40.5% vs 41.7%

If articles made from such film, like pre-printed labels

Worked or fabricated plastic articles move to 3923, not raw film sheets.

3907.61.00Higher: 44% vs 41.7%

If imported as polyester resin pellets, not extruded film

Primary forms (resins) classify in 3907; extruded sheets are secondary forms in 3920.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Submit copolymer analysis showing principal monomer predominates per note (a)(4)

• Declare gauge/thickness precisely; over 0.10mm may affect flexibility determination

• Avoid misdeclaration as rigid film, which shifts to 3920.99.40
