HS code for Carbon tetrachloride mixtures: 3827.13
Mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane or propane, not elsewhere specified or included, containing carbon tetrachloride.
Classification of carbon tetrachloride mixtures under HS 3827.13
Mixtures containing carbon tetrachloride are classified under HS code 3827.13. This code was introduced in recent HS nomenclature updates (HS 2022) to better track and control substances that contribute to ozone depletion. Chapter 38 covers miscellaneous chemical products, and heading 3827 specifically addresses mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane, or propane, not elsewhere specified or included. Subheading 3827.13 is the specific destination for mixtures that contain carbon tetrachloride (tetrachloromethane). This classification applies when the carbon tetrachloride is not the sole ingredient but is part of a functional blend, such as a specialized industrial solvent, a cleaning mixture, or a chemical intermediate. The shift from Chapter 29 (pure chemicals) to Chapter 38 (mixtures) is a fundamental principle of the Harmonized System. This code ensures that even when diluted or blended, the presence of this regulated substance is identified for environmental and trade monitoring, preventing the bypass of regulations through simple mixing.

N/A (virtually no consumer products), historically used by companies like Dow Chemical or ICI for industrial applications.
Codes often confused with 3827.13
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is 2903.14, which is only for the pure chemical. Another common error is using 3814.00 for organic composite solvents; however, because 3827.13 specifically mentions carbon tetrachloride content, it takes precedence according to GRI 3(a).
Top exporters and importers of HS 382713 (the code used for carbon tetrachloride mixtures), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 382713 (the code used for carbon tetrachloride mixtures) in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 49% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the Netherlands, with 40% of world imports. Mexico reports $159M of its heading 3827 imports without product detail (confidential), so it may also belong among the top importers.

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).

Questions about carbon tetrachloride mixtures
What is the HS code for Carbon tetrachloride mixtures?
The HS code for Carbon tetrachloride mixtures is 382713 (Mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane or propane, not elsewhere specified or included; containing carbon tetrachloride). The HS code for mixtures containing carbon tetrachloride is 3827.13.
How do I classify Carbon tetrachloride mixtures for customs?
Carbon tetrachloride mixtures is classified under HS code 382713 — Mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane or propane, not elsewhere specified or included; containing carbon tetrachloride. This is a 6-digit subheading level code.
Why was the 3827 heading created?
Heading 3827 was created to group ozone-depleting substance (ODS) mixtures together for better international monitoring and environmental protection.
Which countries are the top exporters of carbon tetrachloride mixtures (HS 382713)?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS 382713 (the code used for carbon tetrachloride mixtures) in UN Comtrade data were the United States ($74K, 49% of world exports), the Netherlands ($68K) and Austria ($4K). World exports came to about $152K, 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.
Which countries are the top importers of carbon tetrachloride mixtures (HS 382713)?
