HS-6 · Subheading
382751
Mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane or propane; containing trifluoromethan (HFC-23) or perfluorocarbons (PFCs) but not containing chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs); containing trifluoromethane (HFC-2
Heading 3827 — Mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane or propane, not elsewhere specified or included
Chapter 38: Miscellaneous chemical products
Plain-language overview
The 38 chapter of the Harmonized System covers various chemical products not elsewhere classified, providing a broad overview of chemicals used in numerous industries.
Within this chapter, heading 3827 specifically addresses mixtures that contain halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane, or propane, which are significant in applications ranging from refrigeration to industrial processes.
The HS-6 code 382751 narrows this focus further to mixtures that include trifluoromethane (HFC-23) or perfluorocarbons (PFCs), while explicitly excluding chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs).
This classification is crucial for importers and exporters dealing with environmentally sensitive substances, as it helps ensure compliance with international regulations on greenhouse gases.
