This HTS category, 9902.16.59, specifically covers electrothermic automatic coffee makers designed for domestic use. The defining characteristics include a dome-shaped housing encasing the brewing chamber, the capability to brew multiple servings, and a distinct heating mechanism that heats all water in a separate chamber prior to the brewing process. This particular classification is a temporary provision, falling under Chapter 99, and it directs the user to the primary classification under subheading 8516.71.00 for the actual permanent HTS code.

Unlike the broad categories found in the initial chapters of the HTS (e.g., live animals, agricultural products), which are organized by product type and general nature, this HTS 9902 code represents a specific, temporary modification or provision. It is designed to capture particular goods that may be subject to temporary tariffs, quotas, or other trade restrictions, distinct from the permanent classification system. The parent context of Section XXII highlights its role within special trade provisions and temporary legislation.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under this provision is final, contingent upon meeting all the detailed physical and functional criteria outlined in the description. Importers should carefully verify that their merchandise precisely matches the electrothermic, automatic, dome-shaped, multi-serving coffee maker with a separate water heating chamber to ensure correct classification and compliance.
