Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If considered a simple phosphate rather than organophosphorus
Phosphates of Ch. 28 vs organo-inorganic distinction critical per note 2.
If classified by phosphonic acid function alone
Phosphonic/phosphinic acids proper in 2811, but derivatives remain 2931.

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.
Methylphosphonic Dichloride (Methylphosphonic Acid Dichloride)
This reactive compound (CH3P(O)Cl2) features phosphorus bonded to one methyl group and two chlorines, meeting HTS 2931.49.0055 criteria for non-halogenated organo-phosphorus derivatives where 'non-halogenated' refers to the organic substituent chain. Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis.
