Products classified under HTS 2917.34.01
Dioctyl Phthalate (DOP)
Dioctyl phthalate is an ester of orthophthalic acid used primarily as a plasticizer in PVC production for flexible plastics like cables and flooring. It falls under HTS 2917.34.01 as an 'other ester of orthophthalic acid' since it is a chemically defined diester derivative of 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid. This classification applies to separate organic compounds meeting Chapter 29 note (a).
Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP)
Dibutyl phthalate is a short-chain phthalate ester used in personal care products, adhesives, and as a solvent. It imports under HTS 2917.34.01 as an orthophthalic acid diester, meeting Chapter 29 requirements for separate chemically defined organic compounds.
Dicyclohexyl Phthalate (DCHP)
DCHP provides high temperature resistance as a plasticizer in automotive under-the-hood applications and cellulose acetate. As an orthophthalic acid ester with cyclic alcohol groups, it imports under HTS 2917.34.01.
Diphenyl Phthalate
Diphenyl phthalate serves as a flame-retardant plasticizer and intermediate for dyes/pigments. This orthophthalic diester falls under HTS 2917.34.01 as a separate aromatic polycarboxylic acid derivative.
Butyl Benzyl Phthalate (BBP Alternate)
Alternative name for BBP used in nail polish and adhesives. Same HTS 2917.34.01 classification as mixed orthophthalic ester.
Diisodecyl Phthalate (DIDP)
DIDP offers low volatility for outdoor vinyl applications like siding and roofing. Orthophthalic acid ester classification under HTS 2917.34.01.
Diundecyl Phthalate
Specialty long-chain phthalate for high-temperature wire insulation. HTS 2917.34.01 orthophthalic ester.
Diisononyl Phthalate (DINP)
Diisononyl phthalate serves as a high-performance plasticizer for PVC applications requiring heat and light stability, such as wire insulation. Classified under HTS 2917.34.01 as a diester of orthophthalic acid, it qualifies as a separate chemically defined aromatic polycarboxylic acid derivative per Chapter 29 notes.
Diethylhexyl Phthalate (DEHP)
DEHP is a widely used general-purpose phthalate plasticizer for medical devices, food packaging films, and toys. As a pure orthophthalic acid ester, it falls squarely under HTS 2917.34.01 per Chapter 29's provisions for aromatic polycarboxylic acid derivatives.
Benzyl Butyl Phthalate (BBP)
BBP functions as a plasticizer for PVC flooring, sealants, and printing inks, offering good electrical properties. This mixed ester of orthophthalic acid qualifies for HTS 2917.34.01 as a chemically defined aromatic ester derivative.
