7323.93.00.45 - Other

This HTS subcategory, 7323.93.00.45, specifically covers cooking ware made of stainless steel, excluding bakeware. It encompasses items designed for direct use on stovetops or other heat sources for the preparation of food, such as pots, pans, skillets, woks, and saucepans. The key distinguishing factor is the intended use for cooking over direct heat, as opposed to baking in an oven.

While the parent category 7323.93.00 covers a broad range of stainless steel household articles, and the sibling category 7323.93.00.35 designates bakeware (items primarily used in ovens), this subcategory focuses solely on items for stovetop cooking. The material is exclusively stainless steel, and the primary function must be cooking, not baking or general kitchen use like serving dishes.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within this HTS code. Therefore, classification within 7323.93.00.45 relies on confirming the item is stainless steel, is intended for cooking over direct heat, and is not specifically designated as bakeware.
