Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
Presence of CFCs shifts classification to separate CFC-specific subheading within 3827.51
If imported as pure HCFC-22 (R-22) without mixture
Single halogenated derivative classified under Chapter 29 as individual chlorodifluoromethane, not mixtures
If classified as hazardous waste mixture
Spent or contaminated HCFC mixtures may fall under waste chemical preparations in 3824
