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.

Import Tips
• 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
