About HS Code 382739
This HS code serves as a residual category for mixtures of halogenated methanes, ethanes, or propanes containing hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), or hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), but not chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), that are not specifically covered by other subheadings within 3827.3. This means it encompasses a broader array of blends used across various industrial applications, including refrigeration, air conditioning, fire suppression, and foam blowing, where the specific components do not fall under the more precise definitions of 382732. Trade in these mixtures is driven by industrial demand and is heavily influenced by evolving environmental regulations, particularly the phase-down of HCFCs and HFCs due to their ozone-depleting potential or high global warming potential.
Products Under This Code
R-404A, R-407C, R-410A, R-507, R-134a blends, R-422B, R-427A
Real World Examples
Chemours Freon 404A, Honeywell Genetron 407C, Arkema Forane 410A, Daikin R-410A
Common Misclassification
Often confused with 382732 if the specific components from 2903.71-2903.75 are not present or if the mixture is not clearly defined. Pure HFCs or HCFCs (e.g., 2903.39, 2903.7x) should not be classified here.
Industry
This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.
Trade Overview
Major importers and exporters include developed nations transitioning away from HCFCs and developing nations with growing refrigeration and AC markets.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is HS code 382739?
HS code 382739 covers: Mixtures containing halogenated methane, ethane, or propane; containing hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) or hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) or not, but not chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs); n.e.c. in subheading 3827.3.

What are common misclassifications for HS code 382739?
Often confused with 382732 if the specific components from 2903.71-2903.75 are not present or if the mixture is not clearly defined. Pure HFCs or HCFCs (e.g., 2903.39, 2903.7x) should not be classified here.
How is HS code 382739 structured?
HS code 382739 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 (39) specify the subheading. This code is standardized globally by the World Customs Organization.
