1,1,1-Trichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane (CFC-113a)
This is a perhalogenated acyclic hydrocarbon containing only fluorine and chlorine atoms, specifically a trichlorotrifluoroethane isomer. It falls under HTS 2903.77.00.20 as a halogenated derivative of hydrocarbons with two or more different halogens, perhalogenated only with F and Cl. Historically used as a refrigerant and solvent, its import is now heavily regulated due to ozone depletion.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing hydrogen (not fully perhalogenated)
Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) with C-H bonds classify under 2903.71 as fluorinated, brominated or iodinated derivatives, not perhalogenated only F/Cl.
If put up in retail packaging as cleaning solvent
Mixtures or preparations containing trichlorotrifluoroethane for retail sale fall under Chapter 38 as chemical preparations rather than pure compounds.
If perhalogenated with fluorine and bromine instead of chlorine
Chapter notes specify perhalogenated only with F and Cl for this subheading; F/Br compounds go to other halogenated acyclic hydrocarbons.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain EPA import certification under the Montreal Protocol as this is a controlled ozone-depleting substance
• Provide detailed purity analysis and isomer specification in commercial invoice to avoid misclassification
• Verify end-use declaration; imports for non-exempt purposes may be prohibited
