Purified Dicyclopentenyloxyethyl Methacrylate (DCPMA)
High-purity DCPMA (CAS 79752-12-0) is a methacrylic acid ester specifically named in HTS 2916.14.10.00. Used in radiation-curable inks and adhesives due to its reactive double bond and bulky dicyclopentenyl group providing hydrolytic resistance.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing organo-silicon modifiers or metal catalysts
Organo-inorganic compounds with silicon or metals linked to carbon fall under heading 2931 per Chapter 29 note, taking precedence over ester classification.
If it's an isomer or analog like dicyclopentadienyloxyethyl methacrylate
Other methacrylic acid esters not specifically named fall under the residual 2916.14.20 provision.
If formulated as finishing agents for textiles or paper
Mixtures containing this monomer as the active ingredient for specific finishing applications are classified in Chapter 38.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit manufacturer's analytical report with NMR and GC-MS data verifying >98% purity and absence of acrylic acid impurities
• Declare stabilizer content (typically MEHQ) as permitted under Chapter 29 note (f) for transport stability
• Avoid retail packaging that might trigger classification issues under Chapter 32 or 38 exclusions

Dicyclopentenyloxyethyl Methacrylate Monomer
Dicyclopentenyloxyethyl methacrylate is a specific unsaturated acrylic ester classified under HTS 2916.14.10.00 as an ester of methacrylic acid with a dicyclopentenyl oxyethyl group. This chemically defined organic compound is used primarily in polymer synthesis for specialty resins and coatings.
Stabilized Dicyclopentenyloxyethyl Methacrylate Resin Precursor
This stabilized version of dicyclopentenyloxyethyl methacrylate contains MEHQ inhibitor as permitted by Chapter 29 note (f). It remains classified under HTS 2916.14.10.00 as the specific methacrylic ester rather than a mixture.
Industrial Grade Dicyclopentenyloxyethyl Methacrylate (DCPMA-IG)
Industrial grade DCPMA for bulk resin production, specifically identified in HTS 2916.14.10.00. The lower purity specification still qualifies as the chemically defined compound of Chapter 29.
