9902.16.51 - Microwave ovens with integral range hoods, of a kind used for domestic purposes, each having an oven capacity of greater than 58 liters but not exceeding 60 liters, the foregoing having a glass turntable plate with a diameter greater than 35 cm but not exceeding 37 cm (provided for in subheading 8516.50.00)

This classification covers specific types of domestic microwave ovens that are integrated with range hoods. The defining characteristics for items within this category are their oven capacity, which must be greater than 58 liters but not exceeding 60 liters, and the dimensions of their glass turntable plate, which must be greater than 35 cm but not exceeding 37 cm in diameter. These appliances are specifically designed for household use.

While this chapter generally pertains to temporary legislation and trade agreement modifications, the HTS code 9902.16.51 represents a specific temporary modification applied to goods that would otherwise fall under subheading 8516.50.00, which covers microwave ovens. The distinctions at this level are therefore not about differing product types in the traditional sense of Sections I-XXI, but rather about the specific application of temporary measures or special provisions to certain goods based on detailed technical specifications.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within HTS 9902.16.51 is solely dependent on meeting the precise criteria of oven capacity and turntable diameter as detailed in the description. Any deviation from these specifications, or if the item does not meet the underlying criteria of subheading 8516.50.00, would result in a different classification.
