Endo-Dicyclopentadiene 95% Technical Grade
Endo-dicyclopentadiene at 95% technical grade is the predominant endo isomer of DCPD, used widely in synthetic resin manufacturing. Under Chapter 29 note 1(b), mixtures of isomers of the same organic compound are covered, and the endo form is the preferred isomer for many polymerization reactions. It is classified under tariff item 2902.19.00 as a cyclene.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the isomer ratio (endo vs. exo) and purity in the certificate of analysis
• If the product is a mixture of isomers, it is still covered by Chapter 29 note 1(b), but exclude acyclic hydrocarbon isomers
• Declare the technical grade and end-use to support classification
