8516.79.00.00 - Other

This HTS subheading, 8516.79.00.00, encompasses a broad range of electrothermic appliances of a kind used for domestic purposes that are not specifically classified elsewhere within heading 8516. These are devices that utilize electrical energy for heating and are primarily intended for household use, excluding those explicitly designated for other specific functions.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 8516.71.00 (Coffee or tea makers) and 8516.72.00.00 (Toasters), is crucial. While those subheadings pertain to dedicated appliances for beverage preparation and bread toasting respectively, 8516.79.00.00 acts as a residual category for all other domestic electrothermic appliances. Examples falling under this subheading could include electric fondue pots, electric waffle irons, electric crepe makers, electric raclette grills, and other similar kitchen appliances designed for domestic food preparation or serving using electrical heating elements.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 8516.79.00.00 relies on determining that an appliance is electrothermic, designed for domestic use, and does not fit the more specific descriptions of other subheadings within heading 8516, such as water heaters, space heaters, hairdressing apparatus, flatirons, coffee/tea makers, or toasters.
