Classification Notes

Electric pressure cookers (Instant Pot Duo/Pro, Ninja Foodi, Crock-Pot Express, Tefal Cook4Me, Mealthy, Philips All-in-One) and electric multi-cookers that combine pressure cooking, slow cooking, rice cooking, sautéing, and yoghurt-making are classified under 8516.60 as electric cookers. The multiple cooking modes do not split classification — the complete appliance is a single electro-thermic cooking unit. Rice cookers (Zojirushi, Tiger, Cuckoo) are also 8516.60. Slow cookers / crockpots without pressure function are 8516.60. Stovetop (non-electric) pressure cookers are 7615.10 (aluminium kitchenware) or 7323.93 (stainless steel kitchenware). Air-fryer-pressure-cooker combos (Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Duo Crisp) straddle 8516.60 and 8516.71 — typically classified by the predominant cooking function; most are 8516.60. Sous-vide immersion circulators (Anova, Joule) are 8516.10 (instantaneous water heaters) or 8516.79 depending on function. Replacement inner pots are 7323.93 (stainless kitchenware) as parts — not classified as parts of 8516.60 because they are 'kitchenware'.
