Overview

This HTS code, 9902.16.68, falls under Chapter 99, which covers temporary legislation and special provisions. Specifically, this subheading addresses electrothermic painted metal kettles designed for domestic use. Key defining features include a circular thermometer display integrated into the kettle and a base equipped with a temperature control lever and a power button. These kettles are classified under this temporary provision, with a note indicating their primary classification in subheading 8516.79.00, which covers other heating apparatus of a kind used in households.

As this is a leaf node within Chapter 99, it does not have further subdivisions. Its distinction from other potential categories lies in the specific combination of features: it must be an electrothermic kettle, made of painted metal, dome-shaped, intended for domestic purposes, and possess both a thermometer display and a base with temperature control and a power button. This level of specificity ensures that only precisely matching items are captured under this temporary classification, likely due to specific trade agreements or temporary import restrictions.
