About HS Code 382764

This HS code specifies mixtures of halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane, or propane containing hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), but not CFCs or HCFCs, where difluoromethane (HFC-32) makes up 30% or more by mass. HFC-32 is a key component in next-generation, lower-GWP HFC blends and is increasingly used as a pure refrigerant, especially in residential and light commercial air conditioning. Its trade is experiencing rapid growth as the HVAC&R industry transitions away from higher-GWP HFCs like R-410A. Importers and exporters are primarily chemical manufacturers and HVAC equipment producers seeking more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient refrigerant solutions to meet global environmental regulations and market demand.

Products Under This Code

R-32 blends, R-410A (contains HFC-32), R-407C (contains HFC-32), R-454B, R-452B, R-455A, R-466A

Real World Examples

Daikin R-32 (as a blend component), Chemours Opteon XL41 (R-454B), Honeywell Solstice N41 (R-454B), Carrier Puron Advance (R-454B)

Common Misclassification

Can be confused with other HFC mixtures (e.g., 382765) if the specific HFC-32 content threshold is not met. Pure HFC-32 (2903.39) should not be classified here.

Industry

This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.

Trade Overview

Japan, China, the USA, and European countries are at the forefront of adopting and trading HFC-32 and its blends due to its lower GWP.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is HS code 382764?
