1,3-Butadiene (refined isomer) from Japan
While primarily under 2901.24, highly purified 1,3-butadiene can be considered a butene-related diene isomer under HTS 2901.23.00.00 when specified as such. Used exclusively for synthetic rubber (SBR) production.

Import Tips
• Provide distillation specs showing <50ppm impurities for pure compound status
• Include polymerization inhibitor certificate to prevent reclassification
• Monitor for butene/butadiene mixture thresholds triggering 2901.29
