HS Code 3827 — Halogenated Methane, Ethane or Propane Mixtures
This category covers mixtures containing ozone-depleting substances or greenhouse gases like HFCs or CFCs. These are typically used as refrigerants, fire extinguishants, or foam-blowing agents. The code specifically targets chemical blends that are not single chemically defined compounds.
What's included
- HFC mixtures
- R-404A refrigerant
- R-410A refrigerant
- PFC mixtures
What's excluded
- Pure HFC-134a → use
2903(Single chemically defined compounds are classified in Chapter 29.)
