Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If emphasizing ester oxygen function over phosphorus
Oxygen-function compounds might compete, but 2931 later in numerical order prevails.
If alcohol derivatives classification
Methyl alcohol derivatives possible if phosphite function de-emphasized.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare stabilizer percentage (<0.1% MEHQ); note 2(g) allows without reclassification
• Air-reactive; requires inert atmosphere packaging and UN2789 shipping papers
• Distinguish from pesticide phosphites (3808) via purity certificate >99%

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.
Isopropyl Methylphosphonic Acid (IMPA)
IMPA contains a phosphorus atom bonded to one methyl group and one isopropoxy group (P-CH3, P-O-CH(CH3)2). Fits HTS 2931.49.0055 as the phosphorus has one isopropyl group allowed by the heading description with no further carbon atoms in the chain. Marker compound for chemical weapons verification.
