3827.59.00.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 3827.59.00.00, covers miscellaneous chemical mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane, or propane that are not elsewhere specified or included. Specifically, this category encompasses mixtures that contain trifluoromethane (HFC-23) or perfluorocarbons (PFCs). A crucial defining characteristic of this group is the explicit exclusion of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs).

This category distinguishes itself from its sibling, HTS 3827.51.00.00, by its broader inclusion criteria. While 3827.51.00.00 is exclusively for mixtures containing trifluoromethane (HFC-23), this category (3827.59.00.00) also includes mixtures containing perfluorocarbons (PFCs) in addition to or alongside HFC-23, provided CFCs and HCFCs are absent. The key differentiator lies in the presence of PFCs, which are not covered by the sibling category.

As a leaf node, HTS 3827.59.00.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of specific products under this code relies on confirming that the mixture meets the stated chemical composition requirements – the presence of HFC-23 or PFCs, and the absence of CFCs and HCFCs. Examples of such products might include specialized refrigerants, blowing agents, or fire suppression agents that utilize these specific halogenated hydrocarbons.
