On January 1, 2027, the European Union will introduce its own product numbers for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in flake form. The basis is the Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/2163 on the Combined Nomenclature (CN) for 2027. October 2026 was published. In the future, PET flakes will be recorded separately from other forms of PET, including granules, in customs and trade statistics. So far, both forms of goods have been assigned to the same CN codes.
New classification according to viscosity number
The previous CN number 39076100 to PET with a viscosity number of at least 78 ml/g is divided into 39076110 to PET flakes and 39076190 to other forms of PET. to a viscosity number less than 78 ml/g, the previous number 39076900 is replaced by 39076910 to PET flakes and 39076990 to other forms of PET.
The new numbers allow a greater differentiated statistical recording of imports and exports of PET flakes, in particular in trade with countries outside the EU. According to the European PET association Petcore Europe, this enables trade flows and changes in the competitive ecological stability of European recycling companies to be better understood. The data can also serve as a basis to discussions with EU institutions about the circular economy, competitive conditions and the consumption of recyclates.
No separate collection of recycled PET
The tariff numbers differentiate according to the shape of the goods and the number of viscosity, however not between new and recycled PET (rPET). Materials to food contact and those to other applications are also not shown separately. The rPET share of the recorded PET flakes cannot therefore be derived immediately from the new trade statistics.
Petcore Europe had campaigned to a greater precise division of the European institutions and, among other things, set up a working group to represent interests. The association wants to continue to campaign to its own customs tariff number to rPET. The announcement does not provide a specific timeline to this.
