1-Decene

1-Decene is a C10 alpha-olefin derived from petroleum via Ziegler process oligomerization. It qualifies for HTS 2901.29.1050 as a separate, chemically defined unsaturated acyclic hydrocarbon from petroleum sources, used in synthetic lubricants and detergents. Polymer grade specifications ensure classification as pure compound.

Alternative Classifications

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

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 35%

If technical grade with significant branched isomer impurities

Preparations with multiple hydrocarbon isomers not meeting 'separate chemically defined' criteria classify as chemical preparations.

2901.29.50.00Same rate: 35%

If synthetic production route excludes petroleum/shale/natural gas origin

Only petroleum-derived unsaturated hydrocarbons use the .1050 subheading; synthetic routes use general other.

2710.19.90.00Lower: 32% vs 35%

If imported as component of lubricating oil base stocks

Hydrocarbons in lubricating oil mixtures classified by end-use preparation rather than individual compounds.

Import Tips & Compliance

Include GC chromatogram showing >98% 1-decene content to distinguish from branched isomers

Temperature-controlled shipping required (below 50°C) to maintain stability; document temperature logs

Related Products under HTS 2901.29.10.50

1-Octene

1-Octene (C8H16) is a linear alpha-olefin produced via ethylene oligomerization from petroleum feedstocks. Classified under HTS 2901.29.1050 as an 'other' petroleum-derived unsaturated acyclic hydrocarbon used primarily in linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) production. Its terminal double bond distinguishes it from saturated paraffins.

Ethylidene Norbornene

Ethylidene norbornene (ENB) is a diene comonomer (C10H14) derived from petroleum DCPD streams. Despite bicyclic structure, classified under HTS 2901.29.1050 as petroleum-derived unsaturated acyclic hydrocarbon per principal chain rule. Essential for EPDM rubber production providing vulcanization sites.

Isobutylene

Isobutylene (2-methylpropene, C4H8) is a branched unsaturated hydrocarbon from petroleum refinery C4 streams. HTS 2901.29.1050 applies as 'other' petroleum-derived acyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon, separated via extractive distillation. Primary use in butyl rubber and methacrylate production.

Diisobutylene

Diisobutylene (2,4,4-trimethylpentene isomers) results from isobutylene dimerization in petroleum processing. Classified HTS 2901.29.1050 as petroleum-derived unsaturated acyclic C8 hydrocarbon mixture of defined isomers. Used in antioxidants, lube additives, and fuel detergents.

1-Hexene

1-Hexene is an acyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon with the formula C6H12, featuring a terminal double bond. It falls under HTS 2901.29.1050 as it is derived from petroleum through cracking processes and is not specifically enumerated elsewhere in the unsaturated acyclic hydrocarbons subheading. This chemical serves as a comonomer in polyethylene production.

4-Methyl-1-Pentene

4-Methyl-1-pentene is a branched alpha-olefin (C6H12) produced from petroleum raffinates. It falls under HTS 2901.29.1050 as an 'other' petroleum-derived unsaturated acyclic hydrocarbon, distinct from straight-chain olefins. Used as comonomer in specialty polypropylenes and as chemical intermediate.
