9902.18.01 - Vacuum coffee servers, each with lining of glass, a plastic exterior, top carrying handle, see-through contents window and a brew-through lid; the foregoing with a capacity over 2 liters (provided for in subheading 9617.00.40)

This HTS category, 9902.18.01, specifically addresses vacuum coffee servers designed for commercial or high-volume use, defined by a capacity exceeding 2 liters. Key distinguishing features include a glass lining for insulation, a durable plastic exterior, a convenient top carrying handle, a visible window to monitor contents, and a "brew-through" lid. These attributes indicate a focus on functionality and durability for demanding environments, differentiating them from smaller, household-oriented coffee servers.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Its classification is directly tied to the specific combination of features and the substantial capacity criterion. Unlike general categories for housewares or kitchen appliances, 9902.18.01 captures a specialized type of beverage server. The inclusion of the parenthetical reference to subheading 9617.00.40 highlights its derivation from a more general tariff heading, indicating that this provision serves as a temporary or special classification for these specific large-capacity vacuum coffee servers.
