HTS 2903.44.10 covers Pentafluoroethane (HFC-125), 1,1,1-trifluoroethane (HFC-143a) and 1,1,2-trifluoroethane (HFC-143), classified under HS chapter 29. The MFN (general column) base duty is 3.7%. 1 active Chapter 99 overlay apply: 9903.90.08 (other +0%). Imports from China typically incur the Section 301 / IEEPA additional duties listed above; imports from Vietnam, Mexico, India and other origins generally pay only the MFN base unless an origin-specific overlay applies. Antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) cases are NOT evaluated on this page — check ADCVD orders separately. Source: USITC HTS release 2026HTSRev6. CBP determines the binding classification and duty at entry.
