About HS Code 382762

This HS code is for mixtures of halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane, or propane containing hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), but not CFCs or HCFCs, where pentafluoroethane (HFC-125) makes up 55% or more by mass. HFC-125 is a vital component in many high-pressure, high-efficiency HFC refrigerant blends, most notably R-410A, which is extensively used in residential and commercial air conditioning systems. The international trade of these mixtures is significant due to the widespread adoption of such systems globally. However, like other HFCs, HFC-125 is subject to a global phase-down under the Kigali Amendment due to its high global warming potential, prompting a shift towards refrigerants with lower environmental impact.

Products Under This Code

R-410A, R-404A, R-507, R-407C, R-422D, R-427A, R-448A

Real World Examples

Chemours Freon 410A, Honeywell Genetron 410A, Arkema Forane 410A, Daikin R-410A

Common Misclassification

Can be confused with other HFC mixtures (e.g., 382761, 382763) if the specific HFC-125 content threshold is not met or verified. Pure HFC-125 (2903.39) should not be classified here.
