8516.60.40.74 - Of a maximum width not exceeding 70 centimeters

This HTS classification, 8516.60.40.74, specifically designates electrothermic cooking appliances, such as ovens, stoves, ranges, cooking plates, boiling rings, grillers, and roasters, that have a maximum width not exceeding 70 centimeters. These appliances utilize electrical energy for the process of cooking and food preparation. The emphasis on the "maximum width not exceeding 70 centimeters" serves as a key physical characteristic for distinguishing these particular items within the broader category of electric cooking equipment.

This category is differentiated from its sibling, "Of a maximum width exceeding 70 centimeters," based solely on the physical dimension of the appliance's width. When classifying an electrothermic cooking appliance, a customs professional must measure its widest dimension to determine whether it falls under this category or its sibling. This distinction is crucial for accurate tariff application and trade statistics.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification at this level relies entirely on the defined scope of electrothermic cooking appliances and the specific width limitation of 70 centimeters. Examples of goods that would fall here include compact countertop ovens, smaller domestic electric ranges, or specialized electric griddle plates with widths within the specified limit.
