HS Code 3827.14 – Mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane or propane, not elsewhere specified or included; containing 1,1,1-trichloroethane (methyl chloroform)
HS code 3827.14 is the 6-digit subheading for mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane or propane, not elsewhere specified or included, containing 1,1,1-trichloroethane (methyl chloroform). It is used for 1,1,1-Trichloroethane (pure or in mixtures), TCA-based industrial degreasers (historical), TCA-containing aerosol products (historical), TCA for laboratory standards and mixtures with trace TCA.
What HS 3827.14 covers
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.

Codes often confused with 3827.14
Common mistake. 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.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 382714, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 382714 in UN Comtrade data was Austria, with 70% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Austria, with 50% 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).

What products fall under HS code 382714?
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.
What are common misclassifications for HS code 382714?
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.
Which countries are the top exporters of goods under HS code 382714?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS code 382714 in UN Comtrade data were Austria ($44K, 70% of world exports), the United States ($12K) and New Zealand ($4K). World exports came to about $63K, 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 382714?
In 2025, the top importers of HS code 382714 in UN Comtrade data were Austria ($19K, 50% of world imports), Canada ($10K) and South Korea ($3K). World imports came to about $38K, 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 382714 structured?
HS code 382714 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 (14) specify the subheading. This code is standardized globally by the World Customs Organization.
What is the Brazil NCM code for HS code 382714?
In Brazil, HS code 382714 is NCM 3827.14.00. The last two digits are 00 because Brazil does not split this HS code further.
