What is the US duty on PET resin from China?
The USITC extract imported on 25 September 2026 does not use the words PET or polyethylene terephthalate on HTS 3907.61.00 or 3907.69.00. Those lines store a general rate of 6.5 percent. The descriptions are "Having a viscosity number of 78 ml/g or higher" and "Other". That 6.5 percent is the general rate in the file. It is not a China total.
The suffixes under both lines store blank rates. Additional duties are blank, so this file does not store a Section 301 percent. The anti-dumping file dated 16 May 2026 has no heading 3907 row and stores no cash-deposit percent for these lines. This page is the United States file only. It does not state an Australian duty or a ChAFTA percent.

Source: USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule export, updated_at 2026-09-25T11:27:06.251Z, from hts.usitc.gov exportList chapters 28 to 39. The public schedule is at hts.usitc.gov. Heading 3907 in the file reads "Polyacetals, other polyethers and epoxide resins, in primary forms; polycarbonates, alkyd resins, polyallyl esters and other polyesters, in primary forms:". The extract has no code 3907.6. The rate lines 3907.61.00 and 3907.69.00 store no unit. Their suffixes store kg and store no rate.
| HTS | Description | General rate | Special rate | Additional duties |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3907.61.00 | Having a viscosity number of 78 ml/g or higher | 6.5% | Free (A*,AU,BH,CL,CO,D,E,IL,JO,K,KR,MA,OM,P,PA,PE,S,SG) | blank |
| 3907.69.00 | Other | 6.5% | Free (A*,AU,BH,CL,CO,D,E,IL,JO,K,KR,MA,OM,P,PA,PE,S,SG) | blank |
| 3920.62.00 | Of poly(ethylene terephthalate) | 4.2% | Free (A*,AU,BH,CL,CO,D,E,IL,JO,KR,MA,OM,P,PA,PE,S,SG) | blank |
The other column is not shown. It does not apply to goods of China.
The first two rows are the lines that store 6.5 percent. HTS 3907.61.00.10, 3907.61.00.50, 3907.69.00.10, and 3907.69.00.50 store blank rates. Do not paste 6.5 percent onto those suffixes. The special-rate text does not name China. This page does not treat Free as a China rate, and it does not apply the other rate of 15.4 cents per kg plus 45 percent to a China shipment.
The third row is film, not the viscosity lines. The file does use poly(ethylene terephthalate) there, and the general rate is 4.2 percent. HTS 3920.62.00.20, 3920.62.00.50, and 3920.62.00.90 store blank rates. The film line has one footnote, on the other column: "See 9903.90.08." This extract stops at chapter 39, so heading 9903 is not in the file and no rate from that note is stored. Polybutylene terephthalate, HTS 3907.99.50.10, stores a blank rate. Its parent, HTS 3907.99.50, stores 6.5 percent and is described only as Other. Epoxide resins, HTS 3907.30.00.00, store 6.1 percent. Polycarbonates, HTS 3907.40.00.00, store 5.8 percent. None of those is 3907.61.00. Section 301 stays on the USTR Section 301 page.
Anti-dumping file
Source: the US AD/CVD file, updated_at 2026-05-16T23:32:23.566Z, 154 entries, drawn from the Trade.gov China scope index. No row tags heading 3907. The file therefore stores no cash-deposit percent for the viscosity lines. Check ACCESS before you treat that gap as a clearance.
| Case | Type | Product in the file | HS tag | Cash-deposit percent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A-570-924 | anti-dumping | Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, sheet, and strip | 3920 | not stored |
| A-570-097 | anti-dumping | Polyester textured yarn | 5402 | not stored |
| C-570-098 | countervailing | Polyester textured yarn | 5402 | not stored |
There is no countervailing row for the film product. Heading 5402 is outside this HTS extract, so the extract stores no base rate for the yarn. The polyethylene page names case A-570-924 only to say it is not polyethylene in primary forms. That answer is on US duty on polyethylene from China.
Frequently asked
What is the US duty on PET resin from China?
The USITC extract imported on 25 September 2026 does not use the words PET or polyethylene terephthalate on HTS 3907.61.00 or 3907.69.00. Those lines store a general rate of 6.5 percent. The descriptions are "Having a viscosity number of 78 ml/g or higher" and "Other". The suffixes under both lines store blank rates. That 6.5 percent is the general rate in the file, not a China total. Additional duties are blank, so this file does not store a Section 301 percent. The anti-dumping file has no heading 3907 row and stores no cash-deposit percent for these lines.
Does the 6.5 percent include Section 301?
No. additional_duties is blank on 3907.61.00 and on 3907.69.00. Section 301 list membership and the extra percent are not in this file. Read the line on hts.usitc.gov and the USTR Section 301 page before you quote.
Is PET film the same rate?
No. HTS 3920.62.00 is described as "Of poly(ethylene terephthalate)" and stores a general rate of 4.2 percent, not 6.5 percent. The other rate is 25 percent, with a footnote "See 9903.90.08." on that column only. Heading 9903 is not in this extract. The suffixes under 3920.62.00 store blank rates. Case A-570-924 names PET film, sheet, and strip on heading 3920 and stores no cash-deposit percent.
Is there a US anti-dumping case on PET resin from China in this file?
The anti-dumping file dated 16 May 2026 has no heading 3907 row. Case A-570-924 is film, sheet, and strip, not these viscosity lines, and it stores no cash-deposit percent. Cases A-570-097 and C-570-098 name polyester textured yarn on heading 5402, not resin, and both store no cash-deposit percent. That gap is not a finding that no order exists. The cash-deposit rate, if a case covers the shipment, is on ACCESS.
