U.S. imports of Refrigerant Mixtures Containing 30% or More HFC-134a (1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane), Excluding HFOs (HS 382764) totaled $292K in September 2026, imported from 4 countries.
Importers of Refrigerant Mixtures Containing 30% or More HFC-134a (1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane), Excluding HFOs paid $40K in duties in September 2026, an average duty rate of 13.57% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Refrigerant Mixtures Containing 30% or More HFC-134a (1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane), Excluding HFOs imports of $292K in September 2026 ran 253% above the year-to-date monthly average of $83K.
Last updated: September 2026 dataHFC-134a-dominant blends at 30% or more by mass — without HFO content — are classified here, covering formulations used in automotive air conditioning, medium-temperature refrigeration, and certain industrial cooling systems. India and China are the leading US suppliers, together accounting for the bulk of import volume, with Mexico and Taiwan also contributing meaningfully to supply. The explicit HFO exclusion mirrors the structure of adjacent subheadings and is critical for distinguishing these blends from newer low-GWP alternatives that incorporate HFO-1234yf or similar compounds. EPA AIM Act allowance compliance is mandatory, and Chinese-origin goods are subject to Section 301 measures.

Several newer refrigerant blends marketed as drop-in replacements for R-134a incorporate small percentages of HFOs to reduce global warming potential. Even if HFC-134a remains the dominant component at 30% or more, the presence of any HFO content disqualifies the blend from this subheading and redirects it to the HFO-containing mixture subheadings. Importers must scrutinize the full composition to avoid misclassification.
India has developed substantial fluorochemical manufacturing capacity and has become a major exporter of HFC blends to the US market. Because India is not a US free-trade-agreement partner, standard MFN duty rates apply, and importers should monitor any trade-remedy proceedings or AIM Act enforcement actions that could affect sourcing economics from that origin.
