Overview
This category, HTS 8516.60.40.70, specifically designates portable ovens. These are electrothermic appliances designed for cooking that are characterized by their compact size and ability to be easily moved and used in various locations. The "portable" attribute is the primary defining feature for classification within this sub-heading.
This classification distinguishes itself from other subcategories within "Other ovens; cooking stoves, ranges, cooking plates, boiling rings, grillers and roasters" by its portability. For instance, it does not encompass fixed installations like built-in ovens or freestanding domestic ranges. Instead, it focuses on appliances intended for temporary placement and use, often found in smaller living spaces, RVs, or for outdoor cooking applications where a full-sized appliance is not feasible or desired.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification at this level relies on confirming the appliance meets the definition of an electrothermic oven and that its design and intended use clearly establish it as portable. Examples include compact countertop ovens, personal pizza ovens, and portable broiler ovens that are not permanently affixed to a structure.
