About HS Code 382769
This HS code encompasses 'other' mixtures containing hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) but specifically excluding chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and not falling under other specific HFC mixture subheadings (like 3827.5 or 3827.68). It serves as a catch-all for less common or specialized HFC blends, or those with unique compositions not explicitly defined elsewhere. These mixtures might find applications in niche refrigeration systems, specialized fire suppression, or as industrial solvents where specific properties are required. Importers and exporters typically include specialized chemical distributors, research and development firms, and manufacturers of highly specific equipment. Understanding the exact chemical makeup and intended use is paramount for correct classification, especially given the global regulatory landscape for fluorinated gases.
Products Under This Code
R-448A refrigerant, R-449A refrigerant, R-452A refrigerant, R-450A refrigerant, R-513A refrigerant
Real World Examples

Common Misclassification
Misclassification can occur with more common HFC mixtures (3827.68) or with the general 'other' category for halogenated mixtures (3827.90) if the HFC content is not the primary characteristic or if it contains other halogenated compounds.
Industry
This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.
Trade Overview
Countries with advanced chemical industries and specialized manufacturing, such as Germany, Japan, and the United States, are significant players in the trade of these 'other' HFC mixtures.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is HS code 382769?
HS code 382769 covers: Mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane or propane; containing other hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) but not containing chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs); n.e.c. in items no. 3827.5 and 3827.6, not containing .

What products fall under HS code 382769?
R-448A refrigerant, R-449A refrigerant, R-452A refrigerant, R-450A refrigerant, R-513A refrigerant
What are common misclassifications for HS code 382769?
Misclassification can occur with more common HFC mixtures (3827.68) or with the general 'other' category for halogenated mixtures (3827.90) if the HFC content is not the primary characteristic or if it contains other halogenated compounds.
How is HS code 382769 structured?
HS code 382769 is a 6-digit subheading under the Harmonized System. The first 2 digits (38) identify the chapter, digits 3-4 (27) identify the heading, and digits 5-6 (69) specify the subheading. This code is standardized globally by the World Customs Organization.
