Electric pressure cookers and multi-cookers (Instant Pot Duo/Pro, Ninja Foodi, Crock-Pot Express, Tefal Cook4Me) are 8516.79: US HTS 8516.79.00 (2.7%), EU CN 8516 79 70 (2.7%), UK 8516 79 70 (2.7%) — the UK Trade Tariff lists "pressure cooker" there. The extra modes (slow cook, rice, sauté, yoghurt) do not change the code; rice cookers and slow cookers are 8516.79 as well. 8516.60 is for ovens, cooking stoves, ranges, cooking plates, grillers and roasters — air fryers go there (CBP classifies them under 8516.60.40). Stovetop pressure cookers without a heating element are kitchenware: 7323.93 (stainless steel) or 7615.10 (aluminium). Spare inner pots ship as kitchenware (7323.93).
