7321.11 - For gas fuel or for both gas and other fuels:

This HTS category, 7321.11, specifically addresses cooking appliances that utilize gas fuel, or a combination of gas and other fuels, for their operation. These are domestic appliances designed for preparing food, excluding any that are solely electric. Examples include gas stoves, ovens, cooktops, and portable gas burners intended for household use. The primary distinguishing feature is the fuel source; if the appliance relies on gas for heating, it will fall under this heading.

It is crucial to differentiate this category from its siblings. HTS 7321.12.00.00 pertains to cooking appliances that operate exclusively on liquid fuel. Furthermore, HTS 7321.19.00 covers a broader range of cooking appliances, including those that use solid fuels (like wood or charcoal) and any other gas-fueled appliances not fitting the more specific subcategories. Therefore, the key determinant for classification here is the use of gas as the primary or co-primary fuel source.

Within HTS 7321.11, further distinctions are made based on portability. Subcategory 7321.11.10 is reserved for portable gas-fueled cooking appliances, such as small, self-contained units designed to be easily moved. The remaining, unnumbered subcategory, "Other," encompasses non-portable gas cooking appliances, which would include larger, built-in units like conventional kitchen ranges and ovens. This subdivision allows for precise classification based on the appliance's design and intended use.
