8516.90.35.00 - Assemblies, incorporating more than one of the following: cooking chamber; structural supporting chassis; door; outer case

This HTS category, 8516.90.35.00, specifically covers assemblies that are integral components of microwave ovens classified under subheading 8516.50. These assemblies are characterized by their incorporation of multiple key parts necessary for the functioning and structural integrity of the microwave oven. Such components include, but are not limited to, the cooking chamber itself, the structural supporting chassis that provides the framework, the door mechanism, and the outer case that encloses the appliance. The classification hinges on the presence of a combination of these distinct elements within a single assembly.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. While 8516.90.45.00 covers solely printed circuit assemblies, this category encompasses a broader range of integrated structural and functional components. Furthermore, the residual category 8516.90.50.00 is reserved for other parts not specifically enumerated elsewhere within this group, making 8516.90.35.00 a distinct classification for these multi-component assemblies.

As this classification represents a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this subheading relies on accurately identifying the presence of an assembly comprising more than one of the specified structural and functional components, intended for use in microwave ovens. Examples could include pre-assembled chassis units that already incorporate the cooking cavity, door hinges, and outer paneling, ready for final integration into a microwave oven.
