About HS Code 382759
This HS code covers other mixtures of halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane, or propane that contain trifluoromethane (HFC-23) or perfluorocarbons (PFCs), but not chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and are not specifically covered by 382751. This category primarily includes mixtures where PFCs are the dominant or key components. PFCs are extremely potent greenhouse gases with very long atmospheric lifetimes, used in highly specialized industrial applications such as semiconductor manufacturing (for etching and cleaning), fire suppression, and as heat transfer fluids. Trade involves high-tech industries and specialized chemical suppliers. Environmental regulations, particularly efforts to reduce PFC emissions, are a critical aspect of their international trade.
Products Under This Code
Perfluorocarbon blends, electronic cooling fluids, specialized fire extinguishing agents, semiconductor process gases, heat transfer fluids, dielectric fluids
Real World Examples
3M Novec fluids (some older PFC-containing formulations), DuPont Vertrel fluids, specific industrial gas blends for etching and cleaning
Common Misclassification
Could be confused with other HFC mixtures (38276x series) or even pure PFCs (2903.39) if the mixture aspect or specific PFC content is not clear. Careful analysis of the chemical composition is essential.
Products Classified Under 3827.59
Industry
This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.
Trade Overview
Countries with advanced manufacturing sectors, particularly electronics and semiconductors (e.g., South Korea, Taiwan, USA, Japan, Germany), are major importers/exporters.
