Alternative Classifications

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

3824Higher: 15% vs 13.7%

If pre-mixed with lubricants for medical compressor systems

Refrigerant oils and additives create a mixture classifiable in Chapter 38 rather than pure HFC-143.

8418.99Lower: 10% vs 13.7%

If when charged into medical freezer evaporators

Parts of refrigeration machinery containing refrigerant are classified under Chapter 84 evaporators/condensers.

3002.90Lower: 10% vs 13.7%

If falsely declared as immunological product diluent

Chapter 29 note explicitly excludes immunological products of heading 3002 from chemical compound classification.
