3824.99.55.00 - Other

This HTS category, 3824.99.55.00, encompasses "Other" mixtures of halogenated hydrocarbons that are not specifically classified elsewhere within the broader heading 3824.99. Halogenated hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain one or more halogen atoms (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine) bonded to carbon atoms. This category is for mixtures of these compounds where the mixture itself, as a whole, does not fit into a more specific sub-classification.

This specific "Other" classification is distinguished from its sibling, 3824.99.50.00, by the presence of *multiple types* of halogenated hydrocarbons or by the inclusion of non-halogenated components alongside halogenated ones, provided the overall preparation is considered a mixture of halogenated hydrocarbons. The sibling category is reserved for mixtures consisting *solely* of chlorinated hydrocarbons that are not otherwise halogenated. Therefore, if a mixture contains, for example, both chlorinated and brominated hydrocarbons, or a chlorinated hydrocarbon mixed with a non-halogenated solvent, it would likely fall under this 3824.99.55.00 classification.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this category hinges on determining that the product is indeed a mixture of halogenated hydrocarbons and that it does not meet the criteria for any other more specific provision within heading 3824 or related headings. Practical classification may involve analyzing the composition of the mixture and its intended use, considering if it is presented as a product of the chemical or allied industries.
