Didecyl Orthophthalate (DDOP) Plasticizer
Didecyl orthophthalate (DDOP) is a high-performance plasticizer for flexible PVC applications, specifically classified under HTS 2917.33.0050 as 'other' didecyl orthophthalates. Derived from orthophthalic acid esterified with decyl alcohol, it provides excellent low-temperature flexibility and electrical properties. Used primarily in wire insulation and cable sheathing.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If contains other aromatic acid esters
Mixtures of different aromatic polycarboxylic esters fall under the general 'other' category rather than specific didecyl orthophthalates.
If when supplied with compounded stabilizers
Compound plasticizers containing both DDOP and metal soap stabilizers classify as prepared rubber/plastic additives in 3812.
If for lower molecular weight alcohol esters
Phthalate esters of C7-C9 alcohols fall under different ether/alcohol headings rather than C10 didecyl specification.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit GC-MS analysis reports verifying decyl chain purity to distinguish from general phthalates under 2917.39
• Include end-use declarations specifying industrial PVC applications to prevent scrutiny under consumer product regulations
• Package in UN-approved chemical drums; improper labeling often leads to CBP holds for hazardous material verification
