Overview
This classification covers specialized vacuum insulated coffee servers. Key features include liners made of steel and a capacity exceeding 2 liters. Crucially, these servers are imported without a lid but possess a pre-drilled hole at the bottom, specifically designed for the attachment of a lever faucet at the time of importation. This particular configuration is designated for further classification under subheading 8210.00.00, indicating its unique functional design.
As a leaf node within Chapter 99, this category is distinct from other HTS codes at this level, which primarily encompass agricultural products or other temporary trade provisions. Its specificity lies in the detailed physical attributes and intended use of the coffee server, differentiating it from general kitchenware or beverage containers. The inclusion of the faucet attachment provision underscores its purpose as a commercial or heavy-duty dispensing unit.
Given that this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to explore. Classification decisions for this item will therefore hinge on the precise adherence to all the defined criteria: vacuum insulation, steel liner, capacity over 2 liters, absence of a lid, and the presence of the lever faucet attachment hole. Any deviation from these specific requirements would necessitate re-evaluation under a different HTS code.
