Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2931.49.00Same rate: 112.5%

If O-alkyl ester chain exceeds C10

Subheading limits O-alkyl esters to ≤C10; longer chains fall under other non-halogenated phosphorous derivatives.

2909.60.20.00Lower: 43% vs 112.5%

If for the free alcohol precursor without phosphorus

The corresponding amino-alcohol without phosphonite group classifies as alcohol amines in Chapter 29 heading 2909.

3824.99Lower: 17.5% vs 112.5%

If imported as mixture with solvents exceeding safety/transport limits

Chapter note (e) excludes solutions where solvent renders product suitable for specific use beyond general purposes.
