Dimethyl Methylphosphonate (DMMP)

DMMP is an organophosphorus compound with the formula CH3PO(OCH3)2, featuring a phosphorus atom bonded to one methyl group and two methoxy groups. It falls under HTS 2931.49.0055 as a non-halogenated organo-phosphorus derivative with exactly one methyl group directly attached to phosphorus and no further carbon atoms beyond that group and the methoxy substituents. Commonly used as a flame retardant additive and chemical intermediate.

Alternative Classifications

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

2931.90.30.00Higher: 41.5% vs 3.7%

If classified as other organo-inorganic compounds not specifically phosphorus-based

Broader residual provision for organo-inorganic compounds if the specific phosphorus substituent criteria aren't strictly met by customs.

2934.99Higher: 16.5% vs 3.7%

If containing a nucleic acid function or considered a nucleotide derivative

Nucleic acid derivatives with phosphorus fall under heading 2934, which takes precedence over 2931 per chapter note on later numerical order.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Provide detailed chemical analysis (NMR, GC-MS) confirming the phosphorus-methyl bond and absence of additional carbon chains to verify classification

β€’ Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and end-use declarations, as DMMP has potential dual-use applications requiring export control compliance

β€’ Ensure packaging complies with DOT/UN hazardous materials regulations for flammable liquids
