7418.10.00.21 - Cooking or heating apparatus of a kind used for domestic purposes, non- electric and parts thereof

This classification, HTS 7418.10.00.21, specifically identifies non-electric cooking or heating apparatus designed for domestic use, along with their associated parts. The key defining characteristics are the material composition (primarily copper or copper alloys, as indicated by Chapter 74 context) and their primary function in a household setting for food preparation or heating, excluding electrical operation. Examples within this category might include portable charcoal grills, spirit stoves, or kerosene heaters intended for home use.

When differentiating this category from its siblings, it's crucial to note that 7418.10.00.23 covers a broader range of cooking and kitchen ware made of copper, which might encompass items like pots, pans, and utensils not necessarily falling under the specific "heating apparatus" definition. The sibling category 7418.10.00.25, "Other," would apply to any remaining articles of copper under the 7418.10.00 heading that do not fit the specific criteria of cooking/kitchen ware or non-electric heating apparatus.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification rests on a precise determination of whether an item is indeed a non-electric cooking or heating apparatus for domestic purposes, and whether it is constructed primarily from copper or its alloys, as per the broader scope of Chapter 74. The absence of electrical components is a definitive exclusion criterion.
