HS Code 3827Mixtures containing halogenated derivatives of methane, ethane or propane, not elsewhere specified or included

What HS code 3827 covers

This heading is also written as HSN code 3827 in India. It is for mixtures, not pure chemicals. Each mixture holds halogenated carbon compounds built on methane, ethane or propane. These are small molecules that carry chlorine, fluorine or bromine atoms.

The words "not elsewhere specified or included" are part of the name, but they do not make this a catch-all. The heading splits goods by the exact substance in the blend. Read the groups below before you settle on a code.

Heading 3827 is a child of Chapter 38, which sits in Section VI. Its own children are the six-digit codes. The parent category of 3827 is therefore Chapter 38. For the wider picture, see [Chapter 38 chemical products n.e.c.](/hs-codes/38) or browse [all HS code chapters](/hs-codes).

HS 3827 subheadings grouped by substance

The table above lists every code in order. It is easier to use when you sort the codes by the substance in the blend.

• Code 382732 refers to certain substances named in other subheadings of the tariff, and 382739 takes what is left.
• 382740, bromomethane (methyl bromide).
• 382761 to 382769, other hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), again free of CFCs and HCFCs.
• 382790, any mixture of this heading that none of the codes above names.

How to choose the right 3827 code

Start with the ingredient list or the safety data sheet of the product. The codes are written to exclude each other, so the order of your checks matters.

Check for CFCs first, because the opening group is built around them. Next, look for the three halons. Then ask whether the blend holds HCFCs, PFCs or HFCs without any CFCs. Bromomethane has a code of its own, so test for it after that. Then look for HFC-23 or PFCs, and after that for other HFCs.

Use 382790 last, and only when nothing earlier fits. If you are unsure, the [HS code classifier](/hs-classifier) can help you narrow it down. Confirm the final code with your customs broker or with the tariff of the importing country.

3827 vs related Chapter 38 headings

Some nearby headings sound alike, so buyers often mix them up. The goods themselves decide the answer.

[Heading 3824](/hs-codes/38/3824) covers prepared binders for foundry moulds or cores, plus other chemical preparations that no other heading lists. Heading 3827 is narrower. It is only for halogenated mixtures of the kind described above.

[Heading 3813](/hs-codes/38/3813) is for preparations and charges for fire extinguishers, and for charged fire-extinguishing grenades. [Heading 3814](/hs-codes/38/3814) is for organic composite solvents and thinners, and for prepared paint or varnish removers. [Heading 3826](/hs-codes/38/3826) sits just before 3827 and covers biodiesel and its mixtures.
