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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the dicyclopentene structure dominates classification consideration
Certain cyclic monocarboxylic acid derivatives might be considered under heading 2909, but methacrylic ester rules in 2916 take precedence by numerical order.
If put up in retail packages as glazier's putty or caulking compound base
Retail-packaged preparations containing this monomer as reactive diluent fall under Chapter 32.
If partially advanced into acrylic adhesive polymers
Prepared binders and adhesives containing polymerized forms are classified in Chapter 35.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document exact stabilizer concentration (<100 ppm typically) and confirm it doesn't create specific-use suitability per Chapter 29 note (g)
• Provide inhibitor compatibility certification to avoid reclassification as a chemical preparation
• Ensure drum labeling clearly identifies as 'Dicyclopentenyloxyethyl methacrylate' to match HTS description exactly

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.
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.
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.
