Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
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.
If containing ozone-depleting substances like CFCs
Mixtures with CFCs or other listed persistent organics fall under hazardous waste preparations in 3824.
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.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain EPA SNAP approval and verify Montreal Protocol phase-out schedules; include material safety data sheets (MSDS) and purity certificates
• Avoid misdeclaration as pure HCFC to prevent reclassification
