HS Code 3827.13 – Mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane or propane, not elsewhere specified or included; containing carbon tetrachloride
HS code 3827.13 is the 6-digit subheading for mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane or propane, not elsewhere specified or included, containing carbon tetrachloride. It is used for carbon tetrachloride (pure or in mixtures), CCl4-based laboratory reagents, CCl4-containing industrial solvents (historical), CCl4 for specific feedstock uses and CCl4 for analytical purposes.
What HS 3827.13 covers
This HS code pertains to mixtures containing carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), a potent ozone-depleting substance (ODS) and a toxic chemical. Its production and consumption have been largely phased out under the Montreal Protocol, with limited exceptions for feedstock use in chemical manufacturing and specific laboratory applications. Historically, CCl4 was widely used as a solvent, refrigerant, and fire extinguishing agent. International trade in CCl4 mixtures is therefore highly restricted and heavily regulated, primarily involving specialized chemical suppliers for permitted uses, or waste management companies for destruction. Compliance with international environmental conventions is paramount, and any trade requires meticulous documentation and adherence to strict controls to prevent environmental harm.
- Covers
- Carbon tetrachloride (pure or in mixtures)
- CCl4-based laboratory reagents
- CCl4-containing industrial solvents (historical)
- CCl4 for specific feedstock uses
- CCl4 for analytical purposes
- CCl4 for process agents.
- Examples
N/A (virtually no consumer products), historically used by companies like Dow Chemical or ICI for industrial applications.
Codes often confused with 3827.13
Common mistake. Could be confused with other chlorinated solvents (2903) if not specifically identified as a mixture or if its primary use isn't as a residual product. The key is the presence of CCl4, which triggers specific ODS regulations.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 382713, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 382713 in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 49% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the Netherlands, with 40% of world imports. Mexico reports $159M of its heading 3827 imports without product detail (confidential), so it may also belong among the top importers.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).

Its production and consumption have been largely phased out under the Montreal Protocol, with limited exceptions for feedstock use in chemical manufacturing and specific laboratory applications. Historically, CCl4 was widely used as a solvent, refrigerant, and fire extinguishing agent. International trade in CCl4 mixtures is therefore highly restricted and heavily regulated, primarily involving specialized chemical suppliers for permitted uses, or waste management companies for destruction. Compliance with international environmental conventions is paramount, and any trade requires meticulous documentation and adherence to strict controls to prevent environmental harm.
What products fall under HS code 382713?
Carbon tetrachloride (pure or in mixtures), CCl4-based laboratory reagents, CCl4-containing industrial solvents (historical), CCl4 for specific feedstock uses, CCl4 for analytical purposes, CCl4 for process agents.
What are common misclassifications for HS code 382713?
Could be confused with other chlorinated solvents (2903) if not specifically identified as a mixture or if its primary use isn't as a residual product. The key is the presence of CCl4, which triggers specific ODS regulations.
Which countries are the top exporters of goods under HS code 382713?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS code 382713 in UN Comtrade data were the United States ($74K, 49% of world exports), the Netherlands ($68K) and Austria ($4K). World exports came to about $152K, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
Which countries are the top importers of goods under HS code 382713?
In 2025, the top importers of HS code 382713 in UN Comtrade data were the Netherlands ($50K, 40% of world imports), Canada ($49K) and Czechia ($8K). World imports came to about $126K, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Mexico reports $159M of its heading 3827 imports without product detail (confidential), so it may also belong among the top importers.
How is HS code 382713 structured?
HS code 382713 is a 6-digit subheading under the Harmonized System. The first 2 digits (38) identify the chapter, digits 3-4 (27) identify the heading, and digits 5-6 (13) specify the subheading. This code is standardized globally by the World Customs Organization.
What is the Brazil NCM code for HS code 382713?
In Brazil, HS code 382713 is NCM 3827.13.00. The last two digits are 00 because Brazil does not split this HS code further.
