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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If contains aromatic constituents
Unsaturated acyclic hydrocarbons with aromatic components shift to the aromatic subheading.
If for bulk petroleum distillates containing olefins before separation
Petroleum oils and distillates containing olefins are classified by distillation profile in Chapter 27.
If mixed with >70% petroleum oils for drilling applications
Mixed hydrocarbon preparations for specific uses like drilling muds fall under mixed preparations.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide manufacturer's specification sheet confirming >95% purity and petroleum origin to Customs
• Use stainless steel containers with nitrogen blanketing to prevent polymerization during transit
• Avoid declaring as 'alpha-olefin mixture'; specify exact isomer to prevent higher mixture tariffs
