8540.71.20.00 - Modified for use as parts of microwave ovens

This HTS category, 8540.71.20.00, specifically covers magnetrons that have been modified for use as parts of microwave ovens. These components are integral to the function of microwave ovens, generating the microwave radiation necessary for heating. Their classification is based on their specialized design and intended application within this particular appliance, distinguishing them from general-purpose magnetrons.

Unlike the sibling category 8540.71.40.00 which covers "Other" magnetrons (likely encompassing those not specifically designed for microwave ovens or used in other applications), this subcategory is narrowly defined by its explicit modification for use in microwave ovens. The key differentiating factor is the adaptation of the magnetron for this specific appliance role, implying specific design features or integrated circuitry related to its incorporation into a microwave oven system.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this heading relies on the confirmation that the magnetron in question is indeed intended for and adapted for integration into a microwave oven. This often involves examining documentation, product specifications, or the physical characteristics of the component itself to verify its specific application.
