Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If dioctyl orthophthalates instead
Different alcohol chain length changes to specifically named dioctyl phthalates earlier in 2917.39.
If imported as solution in organic solvent for transport
Chapter 29 note (e) allows classification here only if solvent is necessary for safety/transport, not specific use.
If for rubber compounding use with vulcanizing additives
Compound rubber additives may fall under Chapter 38 if prepared for specific rubber industry use.
