7418.10.00.51 - Cooking or heating apparatus of a kind used for domestic purposes, non- electric and parts thereof

This HTS category, 7418.10.00.51, specifically classifies non-electric cooking or heating apparatus designed for domestic use, along with their component parts. It encompasses a range of items commonly found in a household kitchen or dining area that utilize combustion or heat transfer without electrical power. Examples include portable camping stoves fueled by gas or solid fuel, kerosene heaters, and other similar appliances used for preparing food or providing warmth in a domestic setting.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7418.10.00.53 ("Cooking and kitchen ware"), is crucial. While sibling categories might cover vessels and utensils used *for* cooking and kitchen purposes (e.g., pots, pans, serving dishes), this classification focuses on the *apparatus* that generates or applies heat for cooking or heating. Therefore, the primary function of the item – to cook or heat – is the defining characteristic here, rather than its role as a container or serving item.

As a leaf node in the HTS structure, 7418.10.00.51 does not have further subcategories. This means that any non-electric domestic cooking or heating apparatus made of copper, and not fitting into more specific classifications, will fall under this designation. Classification at this level relies heavily on the intended domestic use and the absence of electrical components.
