HS-6 · Subheading
382764
Mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane or propane; containing other hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) but not containing chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs); other mixtures, not included in the subheadings above,
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 382764 when importing or exporting mixtures that contain halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane, or propane, specifically those that include hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) but do not contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). An example would be a shipment of a refrigerant blend used in cooling systems.
This HS-6 line specifically covers mixtures with HFCs that are not classified under other subheadings. For instance, if you have a product that includes HFC-134a mixed with other hydrocarbons, this code applies. In contrast, HS-6 382761 would cover similar mixtures but specifically those that include CFCs.
When dealing with mixtures that contain halogenated hydrocarbons, it's crucial to differentiate between those that contain CFCs or HCFCs and those that do not. For example, if your mixture includes HCFC-22, you would need to use HS-6 382762 instead. This distinction is important for compliance with environmental regulations.
If you're unsure whether your product fits this classification, consider the specific chemical composition and intended use. Products like foam-blowing agents or refrigerants that do not contain CFCs or HCFCs typically fall under this HS-6.

- What types of products are classified under HS-6 382764?
- HS-6 382764 covers mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane, or propane that include hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) but exclude chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). This includes refrigerants, foam-blowing agents, and certain solvents.
- How do I know if my product fits under this HS-6 code?
- Check the chemical composition of your product. If it contains HFCs and does not include CFCs or HCFCs, it likely falls under HS-6 382764. If unsure, consult with a customs broker.
- Are there any special regulations for importing HFC mixtures?
- Yes, importing HFC mixtures may require compliance with environmental regulations. Ensure you check local laws and regulations regarding the importation of such chemical products.
- What is the difference between HS-6 382764 and HS-6 382761?
- HS-6 382764 covers mixtures with HFCs that do not contain CFCs or HCFCs, while HS-6 382761 includes mixtures that specifically contain CFCs. It’s important to classify your product correctly based on its chemical content.
- Can I export products classified under HS-6 382764 without any permits?
- Exporting products under HS-6 382764 may require permits depending on the destination country and its regulations regarding HFCs. Always check with local authorities before proceeding.
- What should I do if my mixture contains both HFCs and CFCs?
- If your mixture contains both HFCs and CFCs, you will need to classify it under HS-6 382761, which covers mixtures with CFCs. Ensure you accurately report the chemical composition.
- How can I find more information about HS codes for chemical products?
- You can find more information about HS codes for chemical products through customs websites, trade associations, or by consulting with a customs broker who specializes in chemical classifications.
