9902.16.74 - Electrothermic multifunctional cookers (multicookers) of a kind used for domestic purposes, each incorporating a timer and designed to prepare foods by various methods, including boiling, simmering, baking, frying, roasting or stewing (provided for in subheading 8516.79.00), the foregoing without a thermometer probe

This classification covers electrothermic multifunctional cookers, commonly known as multicookers, intended for domestic use. These appliances are designed to prepare food through a variety of methods, including boiling, simmering, baking, frying, roasting, or stewing. A key defining characteristic of these cookers is the inclusion of a timer for controlling cooking durations, and importantly, their exclusion of a thermometer probe. They are specifically provided for under subheading 8516.79.00, but are further distinguished by the absence of a thermometer probe for customs classification purposes.

Given that this is a leaf node within Chapter 99, its primary function is to provide a specific temporary legislative classification for these particular domestic cookers. It does not subdivide further into more granular categories. Instead, it relies on the detailed description to differentiate it from other potential classifications, particularly by the absence of a thermometer probe. This temporary provision ensures a consistent and specific treatment for these goods under current trade regulations, distinguishing them from similar appliances that might incorporate a thermometer probe and therefore fall under different HTS provisions.
