HTS US: 2919.XX.XXXX
Description
HTS Code 2919 encompasses phosphoric esters and their salts, including lactophosphates, as well as their halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated, or nitrosated derivatives. These chemical compounds are widely used as flame retardants, plasticizers, and intermediates in various industrial processes. The heading covers both specific substances and more general categories of related phosphoric compounds.

What is NOT Classified Here?
It is important to distinguish that this heading excludes:
- Phosphoric acid itself and its inorganic salts, which are classified under other headings.
- Other organophosphorus compounds not falling under esters or their salts.
- Compounds with different functional groups not related to phosphoric esters or their specified derivatives.
Notes
- Industrial Usage: Many substances under this heading serve as flame retardants, plasticizers, or intermediates in polymer production and other chemical manufacturing.
- Tariff Treatment: Duty rates and import restrictions vary depending on the specific chemical and its intended use; some may be subject to environmental regulations.
- Safety and Compliance: Importers must comply with chemical safety standards and documentation, including Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and relevant environmental legislation.
