Diisononyl Terephthalate (DINTP)
Diisononyl terephthalate (DINTP) is a branched-chain ester of terephthalic acid used as a high-performance plasticizer for flexible PVC in automotive and wire insulation. Classified under HTS 2917.39.20.00 as an aromatic polycarboxylic plasticizer. It offers better cold flexibility than traditional phthalates.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not specifically used as plasticizer
Aromatic polycarboxylic esters without documented plasticizer end-use fall under general 'other' subheading rather than plasticizer provision.
If for stearates/oleates in PVC processing
Fatty acid salts used as PVC stabilizers/plasticizers classify under Chapter 38 industrial fatty acid derivatives, not Chapter 29 aromatic acids.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide GC-MS analysis confirming >99% ester content to avoid reclassification as mixtures
• Include REACH compliance documentation for EU-origin material if transshipping
• Declare exact alcohol chain length (isononyl C9) in entry summary for proper verification
