Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 851671 when importing or exporting electric coffee or tea makers designed for home use. These appliances typically brew coffee or steep tea using electric heating elements, making them essential for many households.

This code specifically applies to appliances like drip coffee makers, electric kettles, and tea infusers. In contrast, HS-6 851672 covers similar appliances but focuses on those designed for commercial use, which may have different specifications and capacities.
