3824.99Lower: 15% vs 31.5%

If for DBP diluted with chemical dispersants beyond simple stabilizers

Chemical preparations with added functional agents exceed Chapter 29 purity scope per exclusion notes.

2909.60.20.00Higher: 40.5% vs 31.5%

If containing alcohol impurities exceeding Chapter 29 impurity tolerances

Import Tips & Compliance

Include GC-MS analysis certificates confirming >99% purity to prevent reclassification as mixtures

Declare stabilizer content explicitly; added stabilizers per Chapter 29 note 2(f) don't change heading but require disclosure

Comply with TSCA import certification; DBP requires EPA notification for significant new uses
