Transparent polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) film rolls used for vacuum forming packaging trays, falling under HTS 3921.90.50 as other non-rigid plastic sheets primarily of PET copolymer. The film is surface-worked for clarity but not formed into shapes. Polymer content exceeds 95% qualifying monomers per subheading rules.

Import Tips
• Document copolymer composition showing predominant monomer units per subheading note (a)(4)
• Avoid shipping in pre-formed trays to prevent shift to 3923 classification
• Use non-nesting roll packaging to minimize damage claims during ocean freight
