Dicyclopentadiene is a bicyclic cyclic hydrocarbon formed by the Diels-Alder reaction of two cyclopentadiene molecules, classified under HTS 2902.19.00.10 as a cyclene other than cyclanes or cycloterpenes. It appears as a colorless liquid with a camphor-like odor and is a key intermediate in polymer production.

Import Tips
• Provide chemical purity certificates and CAS number (77-73-6) documentation to verify classification as a separate chemically defined organic compound
• Ensure proper Hazard Communication labeling as it is flammable and requires UN-approved packaging for transport
• Avoid misclassification by confirming it's not mixed with impurities exceeding chapter note tolerances
