3824.91.00.00 - Mixtures and preparations consisting mainly of (5-ethyl-2-methyl-2-oxido3,2-dioxaphosphinan-5-yl)methyl methylphosphonate and bis(5-ethyl-2-methyl-2-oxido-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinan-5-yl)methyl methylphosphonate

This HTS subheading, 3824.91.00.00, specifically covers certain complex mixtures and preparations. These are primarily composed of two distinct organophosphorus compounds: (5-ethyl-2-methyl-2-oxido-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinan-5-yl)methyl methylphosphonate and bis(5-ethyl-2-methyl-2-oxido-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinan-5-yl)methyl methylphosphonate. These substances are typically employed for their specific chemical properties, though their exact industrial applications may vary.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 3824.92.00.00, is crucial. While both fall under the broader "Other" category for miscellaneous chemical products, 3824.91.00.00 is defined by the presence of the two specific dioxaphosphinan-based methylphosphonate compounds as the principal components. In contrast, 3824.92.00.00 is designated for polyglycol esters of methylphosphonic acid, which are chemically distinct and represent a different class of organophosphorus derivatives.

As 3824.91.00.00 is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification into this specific code is therefore determined by the precise chemical identity and primary composition of the imported goods. Importers must confirm that the predominant constituents of their mixtures or preparations are indeed the two specified dioxaphosphinan derivatives to accurately classify under this subheading.
