R-410A Refrigerant Blend from China

R-410A is a near-azeotropic HFC refrigerant mixture consisting of 50% difluoromethane (HFC-32) and 50% pentafluoroethane (HFC-125) by weight, used as a replacement for R-22 in air conditioning systems. It falls under HTS 3827.65.00.00 because it contains 20% or more by mass of both HFC-32 and HFC-125, without CFCs or HCFCs. This blend is widely used in residential and commercial HVAC equipment for its high efficiency and non-ozone depleting properties.

Import Tips

Verify exact composition via supplier certificate of analysis to confirm ≥20% HFC-32 and ≥20% HFC-125 for proper HTS classification

Obtain EPA SNAP approval documentation and ensure compliance with HFC import quotas under the AIM Act

Label cylinders clearly with UN number 3337 and avoid shipping with CFCs/HCFCs to prevent reclassification
