9902.16.62 - Electrothermic coffee machines of a kind used for domestic purposes, designed to brew using coffee capsules, each having a loading lever containing both stainless steel and plastic (provided for in subheading 8516.71.00)

This HTS classification, 9902.16.62, specifically addresses electrothermic coffee machines designed for domestic use. The defining characteristic of these machines is their operation using coffee capsules. Furthermore, a critical component for classification under this provision is the presence of a loading lever that integrates both stainless steel and plastic materials. These machines are intended for the preparation of coffee within a household setting and fall under the broader provisions of subheading 8516.71.00.

While Chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule encompasses a wide array of temporary legislative provisions and modifications, this particular node is distinct in its focus on a very specific type of consumer appliance. Its sibling categories at the root level of the HTS, such as live animals (Chapters 01), agricultural products, or manufactured goods, are vastly different in nature and purpose, serving to illustrate the comprehensive scope of the HTS. This entry does not have subcategories as it represents a highly granular classification.
