This HTS category, 9902.16.60, specifically covers electrothermic siphon coffee brewers designed for domestic use. The key defining characteristics are a unique design featuring an upper globe-shaped chamber that magnetically seals to a bottom carafe, and the presence of an electronic control located in the base.

As a temporary or special classification provision, this category distinguishes itself from the general goods found under the primary HTS chapters. While siblings at the root level encompass a vast array of goods from live animals to machinery, this node is situated within Chapter 99, reserved for temporary legislation and modifications. Therefore, it does not directly compete with general product categories but rather addresses specific import regulations or tariff treatments for a niche product.

Since this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 9902.16.60 is definitive for electrothermic siphon coffee brewers meeting the specified design and functional criteria, particularly their magnetic sealing mechanism and integrated electronic control. Importers should ensure the product precisely matches these attributes to qualify for this specialized tariff treatment.
