What types of products are classified under HS-6 382739?

Products like refrigerant mixtures containing HCFCs and PFCs, industrial cleaning solvents, and specialty chemicals used in manufacturing are classified under HS-6 382739.

Can I classify a mixture containing CFCs under HS-6 382739?

No, mixtures containing CFCs must be classified under a different code, as HS-6 382739 specifically excludes CFCs.

How do I know if my mixture fits HS-6 382739?

Ensure your mixture contains halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane, or propane without CFCs. If it meets these criteria, it likely fits HS-6 382739.

What is the difference between HS-6 382731 and HS-6 382739?

HS-6 382731 covers mixtures containing only hydrochlorofluorocarbons, while HS-6 382739 includes a broader range of halogenated mixtures excluding CFCs.

Are there any specific regulations for importing products under HS-6 382739?

Yes, check with local regulations regarding the importation of halogenated compounds, as they may be subject to environmental controls.

What should I do if I'm unsure about the classification of my product?

Consult with a customs broker or trade compliance expert to ensure correct classification and compliance with regulations.

Can I use HS-6 382739 for automotive refrigerants?

Yes, if the automotive refrigerants contain HCFCs or PFCs and do not include CFCs, they can be classified under HS-6 382739.

What are some common applications for products under HS-6 382739?

Common applications include refrigeration, air conditioning, and industrial cleaning processes that utilize halogenated chemical mixtures.

HS-6 382739: Mixtures containing halogenated methane, ethane, or propane; containing hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) or hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) or not, but not chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs); n.e.c. in subheading 3827.3

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 382739 when importing or exporting mixtures that contain halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane, or propane, such as a blend of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and perfluorocarbons (PFCs). For instance, a shipment of a refrigerant blend used in air conditioning systems would fall under this code.

This code specifically covers mixtures that do not include chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which are classified under a different line. If you have a product that contains only CFCs, you would need to look at HS-6 3827.2 instead.

When dealing with mixtures that are not specified elsewhere, it's crucial to ensure that your product does not fall under the exclusions of this subheading. For example, if your mixture includes CFCs, it cannot be classified under HS-6 382739.

It's important to differentiate this code from HS-6 382731, which covers mixtures specifically containing only hydrochlorofluorocarbons. If your mixture includes other halogenated compounds, HS-6 382739 is the appropriate classification.
