Overview
This HTS category, 9902.16.54, specifically addresses microwave ovens integrated with range hoods designed for domestic use. The key defining characteristics for classification under this provision are the oven's capacity, which must be greater than 56 liters but not exceed 58 liters, and the presence of a glass rectangular turntable plate. These units are intended for home kitchens, functioning both as a cooking appliance and an exhaust system.
The scope of this temporary provision is narrow, focusing on a precise combination of features and capacity. It is important to distinguish these integrated units from standalone microwave ovens or separate range hoods, which would be classified under different HTS provisions, such as 8516.50.00 for microwave ovens. The "provided for in subheading 8516.50.00" note within the description indicates that while these specific units fall under a temporary modification, their base classification pertains to microwave ovens.
As this is a leaf node within Chapter 99, there are no further subcategories to detail. Classification under 9902.16.54 is definitive based on the outlined specifications. Importers must ensure that the product precisely meets the capacity and component requirements to be correctly classified. This provision likely reflects a temporary trade or legislative measure, and adherence to its specific criteria is crucial for compliance.
