Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If isotopically labeled (e.g., 13C-isoprene)
Isotope-modified compounds classified in Chapter 28 regardless of organic nature.
If diagnostic lab reagent kit
Reagents put up for specific diagnostic use fall under Chapter 38 lab reagents.
If polymerized to cyclic form
Polymerization changes from acyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon to Chapter 29 unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include GC-MS analysis certificate verifying isoprene ≥98% and impurity profile for customs chemical verification
• Small package exemption may apply for lab quantities <1L but still requires UN2357 proper shipping name
• Avoid misclassification as Chapter 38 reagent preparation; remains Chapter 29 due to chemical purity dominance

99% Pure Isoprene Monomer
High-purity isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) used as a key monomer in synthetic rubber production. This acyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon falls under HTS 2901.24.50.00 as 'other' isoprene not specified elsewhere in the isoprene subheading. It meets Chapter 29 requirements for separate chemically defined organic compounds.
Isoprene with p-Menthadiene Impurities
Commercial isoprene containing controlled p-menthadiene impurities from thermal dimerization limits. Still classified as principal isoprene compound per Chapter 29 classification rules. 'Other' category accommodates typical commercial impurity profiles.
Stabilized Isoprene for Synthetic Rubber
Polymerization-grade isoprene containing TBHP stabilizer to prevent premature polymerization during storage and transport. Classified under HTS 2901.24.50.00 per Chapter 29 note (f) allowing stabilizers necessary for preservation. Remains chemically defined isoprene despite added stabilizer.
Industrial Isoprene from C5 Raffinate
Extracted isoprene from C5 petroleum cracker stream, 95-97% purity for polyisoprene rubber production. Qualifies as chemically defined organic compound per Chapter 29(a) despite raffinate origin. 'Other' form under HTS 2901.24.50.00 excludes high-purity monomer specs.
