3827.14.00.00 - Containing 1,1,1-trichloroethane (methyl chloroform)

This HTS classification, 3827.14.00.00, specifically designates mixtures and preparations that contain 1,1,1-trichloroethane, also commonly known as methyl chloroform. This substance was historically used as a solvent and degreasing agent in various industrial applications. The classification focuses on the presence of methyl chloroform as a key component within a mixture or preparation, regardless of other constituents, provided they do not cause the mixture to fall under a more specific classification.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, it's important to note the specific halogenated compound. While 3827.11.00.00 covers mixtures containing chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and related hydro-compounds, and 3827.12.00.00 addresses hydrobromofluorocarbons (HBFCs), and 3827.13.00.00 pertains to carbon tetrachloride, this particular subheading is exclusively for those preparations where 1,1,1-trichloroethane is the defining ingredient. The presence of any of the other listed halogenated compounds would necessitate classification under their respective subheadings.

As 3827.14.00.00 is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification under this code relies entirely on the affirmative identification of 1,1,1-trichloroethane as a component in the product being classified. This includes solutions, aerosols, or other formulations where methyl chloroform is a primary ingredient, and the mixture is not otherwise specified or included in a more detailed heading within Chapter 38.
