8516.60.40.60 - Microwave oven combinations

This HTS category specifically classifies microwave oven combinations, which are appliances designed for cooking that integrate both microwave heating capabilities and other conventional cooking functions, such as convection baking or grilling. These units typically combine the rapid heating power of microwave technology with the versatility of traditional oven elements, allowing for a wider range of cooking methods within a single appliance.

This classification is distinct from other "Other ovens; cooking stoves, ranges, cooking plates, boiling rings, grillers and roasters" by its inherent dual functionality, specifically the inclusion of a microwave generator as a primary heating element. While other categories might cover standalone ovens, grills, or roasters, this code is reserved for those appliances where microwave technology is an integral component of the overall cooking system.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification under 8516.60.40.60 depends on the presence of a combined microwave and conventional cooking system. If an appliance only offers microwave heating or only conventional heating methods, it would fall under a different HTS classification.
