Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 851672 when importing or exporting toasters designed for home use, such as those with automatic pop-up features or multiple browning settings. For example, a shipment of 500 stainless steel toasters with adjustable temperature controls would fall under this code.

This HS-6 line specifically covers electro-thermic appliances like toasters, which are primarily used in households. In contrast, HS-6 851671 includes electric toasters designed for commercial use, such as those found in restaurants or hotels, which may have higher capacity and durability.

When classifying toasters, consider whether they are intended for domestic or commercial purposes. While both types may look similar, their intended use affects the appropriate HS code. For instance, a toaster with a capacity for six slices may be classified differently than a standard two-slice model.

Toasters under this code typically operate using electrical heating elements and may come with features like removable crumb trays or non-stick surfaces. Understanding these details can help ensure accurate classification and compliance with customs regulations.
