Automatic drip coffee maker from China: U.S. import duty example
Candidate HTSUS 8516.71.00.20, based only on the fixed facts below. The route opens the supported 8-digit heading and anchors the exact 10-digit statistical line. This is not a quote, customs entry, physical test, or binding classification.
No product was purchased, inspected, disassembled, lab-tested, or evaluated by a named human customs expert for this article. Different construction, principal function, commercial use, combinations, or parts can classify elsewhere.
Fixed product and entry assumptions
- Complete household electrothermic coffee maker
- Automatic drip or pump type; not presented as multifunction or commercial equipment
- One unit (
No.in the schedule;eachin the calculator) - China customs origin; United States destination
- $100 declared customs value; $0 freight; $0 insurance; ocean transport; formal electronic entry; no FTA claim
- Historical entry date: 2026-09-15, the effective date supported by the frozen 2026HTSRev20 snapshot; this fixture does not establish applicability on a later entry date
CBP ruling HQ H278990 classified the specifically described Keurig 2.0 household brewing systems in subheading 8516.71.00. It is useful analogous source material, not a ruling for this hypothetical product. The frozen 2026HTSRev20 HTS snapshot identifies statistical suffix 20 as “Automatic drip and pump type.”
One stored ordinary base-rate observation
The history artifact reviewed 55 revisions between 2024-12-31 and 2026-10-09, but stores only distinct values. It contains one stored Column 1 general-rate observation for heading 8516.71.00. That does not establish a continuous rate history between revisions.
