7321.19.00.40 - Other

This HTS subcategory, 7321.19.00.40, encompasses a diverse range of nonelectric domestic cooking appliances and plate warmers manufactured from iron or steel, specifically those that are portable and do not fall under the more specifically defined "hibachi" category. This includes items such as portable grills, small outdoor cooking stoves, and other similar devices designed for individual or small-scale cooking that can be easily moved. The key characteristic is their portability and their function as nonelectric cooking apparatuses made of iron or steel.

The distinction from its sibling category, 7321.19.00.20 (Hibachis), is crucial. While both are portable nonelectric cooking appliances of iron or steel, hibachis are generally characterized by their open, brazier-like design, often elevated on legs, and are specifically intended for grilling over charcoal or other solid fuels. Category 7321.19.00.40 serves as a residual category for other portable nonelectric cooking appliances that do not fit the specific definition of a hibachi, encompassing a broader spectrum of portable cooking devices.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification within 7321.19.00.40 relies on a careful assessment of the appliance's portability, its primary function as a nonelectric cooking or warming device, its construction from iron or steel, and its exclusion from more precisely defined categories like hibachis.
