HS Code 3827.90 – Mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane or propane; n.e.c. in subheading no 3827
HS code 3827.90 is the 6-digit subheading for mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane or propane, n.e.c. in subheading no 3827. It is used for halogenated solvent blends, specialized fire suppression agents, chemical synthesis intermediates, industrial cleaning fluids and laboratory reagents.
What HS 3827.90 covers
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.

Codes often confused with 3827.90
Common mistake. 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.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 382790, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 382790 in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 34% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Thailand, with 38% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).

What products fall under HS code 382790?
Halogenated solvent blends, specialized fire suppression agents, chemical synthesis intermediates, industrial cleaning fluids, laboratory reagents
What are common misclassifications for HS code 382790?
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.
Which countries are the top exporters of goods under HS code 382790?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS code 382790 in UN Comtrade data were the United States ($6.4M, 34% of world exports), Germany ($5.8M) and the Netherlands ($1.1M). World exports came to about $19M, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
