HS-6 · Subheading
382711
Mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane or propane, not elsewhere specified or included; containing chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), whether or not containing hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) or hydrofluorocarbon
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-6 382711 when importing or exporting mixtures that contain halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane, or propane, specifically those with chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). For instance, a shipment of refrigerant blends used in air conditioning systems would fall under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 382712, which covers mixtures containing hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). While both involve halogenated compounds, the specific chemical makeup and environmental regulations differ, affecting classification and compliance.
Mixtures classified under HS-6 382711 can include products like aerosol propellants or refrigerants that contain CFCs. These mixtures are often used in various applications, from refrigeration to foam production, and are subject to strict environmental regulations.
When determining if this code applies, consider the specific halogenated compounds present. If your product contains CFCs, it likely fits here, while those with HCFCs should be classified under the adjacent code.
