This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the product contains hydrogen atoms (e.g., HCFC-124)
Hydrogen-containing halogenated acyclic hydrocarbons with two different halogens are classified under the residual subheading 2903.79.
If the product is chlorodifluoromethane (HCFC-22), a different compound
Chlorodifluoromethane is specifically named in subheading 2903.71, which takes precedence over the residual 'other' item.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify that the R-12 is perhalogenated (no hydrogen atoms) to qualify for this tariff item; otherwise, a different classification may apply
• Ensure compliance with Canada's ozone-depleting substances regulations, as R-12 is controlled and may require permits from Environment and Climate Change Canada before importation
• Declare the exact chemical composition on the customs invoice to avoid CBSA reclassification
