9902.16.66 - Electrothermic automatic coffee makers of a kind used for domestic purposes, each incorporated into a housing for permanent installation into a wall or cabinet or on a shelf and capable of remote operation via wireless connection to a smartphone or tablet (provided for in subheading 8516.71.00)

This HTS category, 9902.16.66, specifically addresses electrothermic automatic coffee makers designed for domestic use. These are not standalone appliances but are integrated into a housing for permanent installation, either within a wall, a cabinet, or mounted on a shelf. A key defining characteristic is their advanced functionality, including the capability for remote operation via wireless connection to a smartphone or tablet. This sub-category is established under the provisions of subheading 8516.71.00, indicating a specialized treatment or modification from the broader classification of coffee makers.

While the broader HTS system encompasses a vast array of goods, this particular code is highly specific and would not be confused with other sibling categories which cover vastly different product types, such as live animals or agricultural products. Its distinction lies in its function as an electrothermic appliance for beverage preparation and its integrated, permanently installed nature, coupled with smart technology. It is important to note that this is a leaf node, meaning there are no further subcategories branching from this specific classification. Therefore, classification within 9902.16.66 depends solely on meeting all the detailed criteria outlined in its description, emphasizing the domestic purpose, integrated housing, and wireless remote operation.
