Alternative Classifications

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

2903.42.10.00Lower: 13.7% vs 38.7%

If imported as pure HCFC-123 without additives

Pure 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane is classified under its specific chemical subheading rather than as a mixture.

3824Lower: 15% vs 38.7%

If containing ozone-depleting substances like CFCs

Mixtures with CFCs or other listed persistent organics fall under hazardous waste preparations in 3824.

3814.00.50Higher: 41% vs 38.7%

If sold as formulated refrigerant gas for retail

Organic composite solvents and thinners used as refrigerants may shift to 3814 if not purely HCFC-focused.
