9902.16.79 - Electrothermic pressure cookers of a kind used for domestic purposes, each with a capacity of less than 5 liters and rated from 800 W to 1000 W (provided for in subheading 8516.79.00)

HTS Code 9902.16.79 specifically covers electrothermic pressure cookers designed for domestic use. These appliances are characterized by a capacity of less than 5 liters and an electrical rating between 800 and 1000 watts. It's important to note that this classification is found within Chapter 99, which pertains to temporary legislation and modifications related to trade agreements and agricultural import restrictions. Therefore, the classification under 9902.16.79 signifies that these particular pressure cookers are subject to specific, temporary provisions that may differ from their permanent classification under Chapter 85.

This temporary provision distinguishes itself from other HTS categories by its focus on these specific domestic electrothermic pressure cookers and their unique tariff treatment. Unlike permanent classifications that describe the product's inherent function and material composition, this chapter 99 code indicates a special, time-limited status. For example, while a standard electrothermic pressure cooker might be classified under subheading 8516.79.00, the 9902.16.79 code signifies that this specific variant, due to its capacity and wattage, falls under a temporary restriction or modification.

As a leaf node, HTS Code 9902.16.79 has no further subcategories. This means that all electrothermic pressure cookers meeting the defined criteria of domestic use, less than 5-liter capacity, and 800-1000 watt rating are fully encompassed by this specific provision. Importers and exporters should consult the official HTS notes and any relevant proclamations or regulations to understand the precise nature and duration of the temporary legislation applied to goods classified under this code, as it dictates import requirements and duty rates.
