3907.69.00 - Other

This HTS category, 3907.69.00, encompasses "Other" poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) in its primary forms. This broad classification applies to PET resins that do not meet the specific criteria outlined in sibling categories. Primarily, these are various grades and forms of PET that are used as raw materials in the manufacturing of a wide range of plastic products, including films, bottles, fibers, and molded articles, when their viscosity number is not specifically defined as higher.

The key distinction for this category lies in the absence of the stringent viscosity requirement found in its sibling, 3907.61.00, which covers PET with a viscosity number of 78 ml/g or higher. Therefore, 3907.69.00 is the default classification for PET when its viscosity falls below this specified threshold. This allows for the classification of a wider array of PET resins, accommodating variations in processing characteristics and end-use applications.

Within this "Other" category, further subdivision exists. Subcategory 3907.69.00.10 is established for poly(ethylene terephthalate) that has a viscosity number of 70 ml/g or more but less than 78 ml/g. This granular level of classification ensures that PET resins with a specific, intermediate viscosity range are accurately identified, facilitating precise trade statistics and tariff application.
