HS Code Subheading

Mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane or propane; containing other hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) but not containing chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs); containing 15% or more by mass of 1,1,1-trifluoroethan

About HS Code 382761

This HS code specifically covers mixtures of halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane, or propane that contain hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), but not chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and where 1,1,1-trifluoroethane (HFC-143a) constitutes 15% or more by mass. HFC-143a is a crucial component in many common HFC refrigerant blends, widely utilized in commercial refrigeration, industrial chillers, and air conditioning systems. International trade in these mixtures is substantial, driven by the HVAC&R industry's demand for non-ozone-depleting refrigerants. However, due to their high global warming potential, HFCs, including HFC-143a, are subject to a global phase-down under the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, influencing trade patterns and encouraging the development of lower-GWP alternatives.

Products Under This Code

R-404A, R-507, R-407C, R-422D, R-427A, R-438A, R-448A

Real World Examples

Chemours Freon 404A, Honeywell Genetron 507, Arkema Forane 407C, Daikin R-404A

Common Misclassification

Often confused with other HFC mixtures (e.g., 382762, 382763) if the specific HFC-143a content threshold is not met or verified. Pure HFC-143a (2903.39) should not be classified here.
