About HS Code 382714
This HS code covers mixtures containing 1,1,1-trichloroethane (methyl chloroform), another significant ozone-depleting substance (ODS) whose production and consumption have been largely phased out under the Montreal Protocol. Historically, 1,1,1-trichloroethane was a widely used industrial solvent for cleaning and degreasing, as well as an ingredient in aerosols and adhesives. Consequently, international trade in these mixtures is severely restricted, primarily limited to destruction, recycling for very specific essential uses (if any remain), or for laboratory and analytical purposes. Importers and exporters are typically specialized chemical waste handlers or research institutions. The trade is heavily regulated to ensure compliance with global environmental treaties aimed at protecting the stratospheric ozone layer.
Products Under This Code
1,1,1-Trichloroethane (pure or in mixtures), TCA-based industrial degreasers (historical), TCA-containing aerosol products (historical), TCA for laboratory standards, mixtures with trace TCA, TCA for process agents.
Real World Examples
N/A (virtually no consumer products), historically used by companies like Dow Chemical for industrial solvents.
Common Misclassification
Can be confused with other chlorinated solvents (2903) or other halogenated mixtures, but the specific presence of 1,1,1-trichloroethane is the defining characteristic for this ODS category, triggering strict controls.
Products Classified Under 3827.14
Industry
This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.
Trade Overview
Global trade is severely restricted, primarily for destruction or very limited essential uses, reflecting its status as a phased-out ozone-depleting substance.
