HS-4 · Heading
3827 — Mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane or propane, not elsewhere specified or included
Chapter 38: Miscellaneous chemical products
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 3827 when importing or exporting mixtures that contain halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane, or propane. For example, if you're shipping a blend of refrigerants that includes chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), this heading will likely apply.
When deciding between the subheadings, consider the specific halogenated compounds in your mixture. For instance, if your product contains CFCs, you would select HS-6 382711. If it contains hydrobromofluorocarbons (HBFCs), then HS-6 382712 is the correct choice.
If your mixture features hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) but not CFCs, you might lean towards HS-6 382731 or HS-6 382740. The distinction often hinges on whether other specific substances are present, such as bromomethane or carbon tetrachloride.
