Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If fluorinated but without chlorine substitution
Pure hydrofluoroethane isomers without halogen diversity beyond fluorine classify under other fluorinated hydrocarbons.
If sold as fire-extinguishing composition
HCFC-123 mixtures specifically prepared for fire suppression fall under chemical preparations for firefighting.
If heavily diluted in hydrocarbon solvent base
Petroleum-based mixtures with minor HCFC content may classify as synthetic saturated acyclic hydrocarbons.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include EPA allocation certificates since HCFC imports require quotas; non-compliance leads to seizure
• Specify exact chemical composition and CAS number (306-83-2) on commercial invoice to confirm HTS classification
