7321.90 - Parts:

This HTS category, 7321.90, encompasses parts specifically designed for the nonelectric domestic appliances described under heading 7321, which include stoves, ranges, cookers, barbecues, braziers, and similar items made of iron or steel. This classification is reserved for components that, by themselves, do not constitute a complete appliance but are integral to the functioning or assembly of the aforementioned nonelectric domestic appliances.

Distinct from sibling categories like "Cooking appliances and plate warmers" or "Other appliances," this subheading focuses exclusively on the constituent parts. For example, while a complete cooker would fall under the former, individual grates, racks, doors, or control knobs manufactured for such a cooker, but not constituting a functional appliance on their own, would be classified here. The key distinction lies in the item's readiness for use as a standalone appliance versus its role as a component.

The subcategories under 7321.90 further refine the classification of these parts. Subheading 7321.90.60, for instance, serves as a residual category for parts that do not fit into more specific classifications, such as those designated for articles in subheading 7321.11.30. This hierarchical structure ensures that all components for iron or steel domestic appliances are accurately classified based on their specific application and type.
