9902.16.36 - Stainless steel bowls designed for use on electromechanical stand food mixers, each having a capacity greater than 4.7 liters but not exceeding 8.6 liters (whether or not having a single stainless steel vertically oriented welded handle), the foregoing each having a rolled top edge and two welded stainless steel side brackets with circular holes (provided for in subheading 8509.90.55)

This HTS code, 9902.16.36, specifically addresses stainless steel bowls designated for use with electromechanical stand food mixers. The defining characteristics include a capacity range greater than 4.7 liters but not exceeding 8.6 liters. Additional physical attributes such as a single, vertically oriented welded handle (even if present), a rolled top edge, and two welded stainless steel side brackets with circular holes are crucial for classification under this provision. The underlying principle of this temporary provision is to identify specific replacement or accessory parts for larger kitchen appliances.

While the Harmonized Tariff Schedule contains numerous categories for various types of bowls and containers (e.g., those found in Chapters 39, 44, 70, or 73), this entry is distinct due to its specialized application and material. It is not for general-purpose kitchen bowls, decorative bowls, or bowls made from other materials. Its classification is intrinsically linked to its function as a component part for a specific type of electromechanical food mixer, and it is provided for in subheading 8509.90.55, which covers parts and accessories for domestic electrical appliances.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 9902.16.36 is therefore a definitive determination based on meeting all the specified physical and functional criteria. Importers should ensure that the stainless steel bowls they are declaring precisely match the described dimensions, material, construction features, and intended use to correctly apply this temporary legislation.
