1-Chloro-1,2,2,2-Tetrafluoroethane (HCFC-124)
1-Chloro-1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethane (HCFC-124) is a refrigerant used as a transitional replacement for older chlorofluorocarbons. Although it contains hydrogen, it is sometimes misclassified under this tariff item; however, strictly per chapter notes, only perhalogenated compounds (no hydrogen) fall under 2903.77.00, so this product would not qualify.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Do not classify HCFC-124 under 2903.77.00 because it contains hydrogen and is not perhalogenated; use the residual subheading 2903.79 instead
• Verify the exact chemical structure before declaring to the CBSA to avoid penalties for misclassification
• Check for import restrictions under Canada's Ozone-depleting Substances Regulations, as HCFC-124 is a controlled substance
