HS code · 6-digit subheading

HS Code 3827.61 – 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

HS code 3827.61 is the 6-digit subheading for 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. It is used for R-404A, R-507, R-407C, R-422D and R-427A.

What HS 3827.61 covers

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.

Codes often confused with 3827.61

Common mistake. 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.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
