Import Tips & Compliance

Provide GC-MS analysis confirming >95% purity to maintain Chapter 29 classification

Include end-use statements if challenged on plasticizer vs pure chemical status

Ensure stabilizers don't render it a 'preparation' under 3824

Related Products under HTS 2919.90.50.50

Tricresyl Phosphate (TCP)

Tricresyl phosphate is a triaryl phosphate ester used primarily as a plasticizer and flame retardant in plastics, lubricants, and vinyl applications. It falls under HTS 2919.90.50.50 as a phosphoric ester (phosphate ester) that is not specifically enumerated elsewhere in heading 2919. This classification applies to its chemical structure as an organophosphate ester without halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated, or nitrosated derivatives.

Triphenyl Phosphate (TPP)

Triphenyl phosphate serves as a flame retardant and plasticizer in rigid PVC, cellulose acetate, and synthetic resins. Classified under HTS 2919.90.50.50 as an 'other' phosphoric ester, it matches the chapter's scope for separate chemically defined organic phosphate compounds. Its aryl phosphate structure distinguishes it from alkyl phosphates listed elsewhere.

Cresyl Diphenyl Phosphate

Cresyl diphenyl phosphate is an organophosphate ester employed as a hydraulic fluid base and flame retardant in aviation lubricants. It qualifies for HTS 2919.90.50.50 as a non-specific phosphoric ester and salt under the chapter notes for chemically defined organic compounds. The mixed aryl structure places it in the 'other' category.

Triethyl Phosphate (TEP)

Triethyl phosphate acts as a catalyst, solvent, and flame retardant in resins and plastics manufacturing. As a low molecular weight phosphoric ester, it falls under HTS 2919.90.50.50 per chapter provisions for separate organic phosphate compounds. Widely used in pharmaceutical synthesis intermediates.

Diphenyl 2-Ethylhexyl Phosphate

This mixed alkyl-aryl phosphate ester serves as a plasticizer for nitrocellulose lacquers and flame retardant. HTS 2919.90.50.50 covers it as an unspecified phosphoric ester under Chapter 29 organic compounds scope. The ester linkage defines its principal chemical character.

Tris(2-chloroethyl) Phosphate (TCEP)

TCEP is a chlorinated phosphate ester used as flame retardant in polyurethane foam and textiles. Despite halogenation, as an 'other' derivative it falls under HTS 2919.90.50.50 per chapter notes including halogenated phosphoric esters. Provides reactive flame retardancy.
