Monochlorotetrafluoroethane (HCFC-124) Refrigerant Gas
Pure monochlorotetrafluoroethane (HCFC-124), a hydrochlorofluorocarbon used as a refrigerant in commercial chillers and industrial cooling systems. This chemical is a halogenated derivative of acyclic hydrocarbons containing fluorine and chlorine, specifically classified under HTS 2903.79.90.30 due to its precise molecular structure (C2HClF4). It is supplied in high-pressure cylinders for HVAC applications.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If blended with lubricating oils for refrigeration systems
Mixtures of fluorinated refrigerants with additives like lubricants are classified as prepared chemical preparations in Chapter 38 rather than pure compounds.
If imported pre-charged in refrigeration equipment
When HCFC-124 is contained within finished refrigerators or chillers, classification shifts to Chapter 84 machinery headings based on principal function.
If containing only chlorofluorocarbons without hydrogen
CFCs (no hydrogen) like CFC-12 fall under earlier subheadings in 2903.71, while HCFCs with hydrogen like HCFC-124 are in 2903.79.
