About HS Code 382790
This code acts as a residual category for 'other' mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane, or propane, not specifically covered in other subheadings of 3827. This means it includes mixtures that might contain less common halogenated compounds, or blends used for highly specialized industrial purposes beyond typical refrigerants or blowing agents. Examples could include certain industrial solvents, chemical intermediates, or fire suppressants that do not fall into the HFC, HCFC, or CFC categories. Trade in these goods is often driven by specific industrial demands, with chemical manufacturers and specialized distributors being the primary importers and exporters. Due to the 'not elsewhere specified' nature, careful chemical analysis and understanding of the mixture's primary function are essential for accurate classification.
Products Under This Code
Halogenated solvent blends, specialized fire suppression agents, chemical synthesis intermediates, industrial cleaning fluids, laboratory reagents
Real World Examples
3M Novec 1230 (fire protection fluid), Solvay Solkane 365mfc, various custom industrial solvent blends, specialized etching solutions
Common Misclassification
This code is frequently confused with specific HFC, HCFC, or CFC mixtures (e.g., 3827.1X, 3827.2X, 3827.3X, 3827.6X) if the exact composition is not thoroughly checked, or with other chemical mixtures in Chapter 38 if the halogenated derivative is not the primary component.
Products Classified Under 3827.90
Industry
This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.
Trade Overview
Global chemical manufacturing hubs like Germany, China, and the United States are key players in the trade of these diverse halogenated mixtures.
