Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2711.12.00Lower: 25% vs 35%

If liquefied petroleum gas mixture containing isoprene

Mixed hydrocarbons including isoprene fall under Chapter 27 petroleum gases rather than pure Chapter 29 compounds.

3817Lower: 16.5% vs 35%

If mixed as rubber accelerator preparation

Preparations containing isoprene as accelerator component classified by use in Chapter 38, not principal compound.

2901.29.50.00Same rate: 35%

If technically specified as hydrocarbon mixture

Commercial mixtures with isoprene impurities classified as 'other acyclic unsaturated hydrocarbons'.

Import Tips & Compliance

Provide Certificate of Analysis (COA) confirming ≥99% purity and isoprene chemical identity per Chapter 29 definitions

Ensure proper UN 2357 hazardous material declaration and DOT/IMDG shipping papers for flammable liquid

Verify stabilizer content doesn't change classification; common pitfall is misclassifying stabilized vs pure forms
