Overview
This HTS category encompasses electric ovens and cooking ranges that are specifically designed to incorporate a radiant heated cooktop as their primary cooking surface. These appliances are intended for domestic use and are characterized by their electrical heating elements that directly radiate heat for cooking purposes on the cooktop. Examples include electric ranges with radiant smooth-top surfaces and electric ovens with built-in radiant grill elements.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8516.60.40.78, is the crucial element of the cooktop's heating technology. While both fall under "Other" cooking stoves, ranges, and ovens, this classification is exclusively for those featuring *radiant electric* heating for their cooktop. The sibling category is reserved for appliances that utilize *gas fueling* for their cooktop.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code hinges on the definitive presence of a radiant heated cooktop and the overall appliance fitting the description of an oven, stove, or range. Classification decisions should carefully verify the heating mechanism of the cooktop to ensure accurate duty assessment.
