Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

3825.20.00.00Higher: 17.5% vs 13.7%

If purity below commercial standards or containing process contaminants

Halogenated waste or refuse not suitable for general use shifts from Chapter 29 compounds.

2903.71.01.00Higher: 38.7% vs 13.7%

If primarily chlorodifluoromethane (HCFC-22) with HFC-23 impurity

Principal compound determines classification; HCFC-22 would use 2903.71 per numerical order.
