Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If 95%+ pure HFC-134a
High-purity single substances classify under specific 2903.42 rather than mixtures.
If includes halogenated propane derivatives outside 2903.41-48
Propane-based HFCs like HFC-245fa shift to other 3827.69 subheading.
If pre-charged in refrigerating equipment
HFCs in assembled AC units classify with the machinery, not separately.
