Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If acyclic cyclopentadiene monomer
Acyclic saturated/unsaturated hydrocarbons classified in Chapter 29 heading 2901, preceding cyclic hydrocarbons.
If synthetic resin former put up for retail
Products specifically prepared for resin production may fall under Chapter 38 rather than pure hydrocarbons.
If light oil distillate containing <50% pure compound
Petroleum-derived mixtures not meeting chemical purity standards classified as petroleum oils.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Specify isomer content; mixtures of isomers may require different classification per Chapter 29 note 2(b)
• Provide flash point documentation as it impacts DOT hazardous material shipping requirements
• Confirm not stabilized with anticaking agents that could shift to note 2(f) preparations
