Overview
This HTS category, 9902.16.67, specifically covers electrothermic toaster ovens designed for domestic use. The defining characteristic of these appliances is their dual functionality: they operate as a conventional oven while simultaneously incorporating a distinct, single-slot toaster opening situated on the top surface of the oven. This unique design integration differentiates them from standard toaster ovens that may only have a toaster function or separate toaster appliances.
Unlike other items within Chapter 99 which generally pertain to temporary legislation, trade agreements, or specific agricultural import restrictions, this particular code is a placeholder. It directs importers to the primary classification for these goods, which is subheading 8516.72.00, under Chapter 85 (Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof). This indicates that while this 9902 code exists, the substantive classification and associated duties will be governed by the heading for electrical heating apparatus for household purposes.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 8516.72.00 will depend on the specific electrical operating characteristics, power consumption, and intended domestic application of the appliance. The inclusion of the toaster slot on top is the paramount factor for classifying an electrothermic oven under this specific provision, distinguishing it from other oven types or standalone toasters.
