9902.15.26 - Vacuum insulated coffee servers with liners of steel, each with a capacity over 2 liters, containing a brew-through lid and hole at bottom of server for lever faucet attachment (provided for in subheading 8210.00.00)

This HTS category, 9902.15.26, specifically classifies vacuum-insulated coffee servers that are designed for commercial or high-volume use, distinguished by their capacity exceeding 2 liters. Key physical characteristics include a liner made of steel, the presence of a brew-through lid allowing for direct coffee brewing into the server, and a specific design feature at the bottom for attaching a lever faucet. These servers are provided for under the broader classification of subheading 8210.00.00, which pertains to machines and appliances for directly treating food or beverages, and their parts, of base metal.

Unlike other categories within the HTS, which cover a vast range of goods from live animals to machinery, this particular classification falls under Chapter 99. This chapter is reserved for temporary legislation, modifications proclaimed pursuant to trade agreements, and additional import restrictions. Therefore, this specific code does not represent a permanent classification of goods based on their inherent nature but rather addresses a temporary or specific import provision for these particular coffee servers. The "siblings" at this level are all other temporary or specially legislated provisions under Chapter 99, each addressing distinct goods or situations, rather than direct product-based alternatives to the coffee server.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 9902.15.26. Classification ends at this detailed description. Importers and exporters should ensure that the physical characteristics and intended use of their coffee servers precisely match the criteria outlined in the description to ensure correct classification and compliance with any associated temporary trade provisions.
