Section XVI: Machinery and mechanical appliances; electrical equipment; parts thereof, sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles · Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles · Heading 8516: Electric instantaneous or storage water heaters and immersion heaters; electric space-heating apparatus and soil-heating apparatus; electrothermic hairdressing apparatus (for example, hairdryers, hair curlers, curling tong heaters) and hand dryers; electric smoothing irons; other electrothermic appliances of a kind used for domestic purposes; electric heating resistors, other than those of heading 8545
Why this code
An electric kettle is a portable domestic appliance that heats water by electric resistance. Heading 8516 covers electrothermic domestic appliances not elsewhere specified. Subheading 851679 (Other electrothermic appliances, Other) is the residual subheading for such appliances, since kettles are not coffee or tea makers (851671), toasters, or ovens. Heading 8419 is excluded because it does not cover machinery of a kind used for domestic purposes. Body material and temperature control do not change the subheading, so the classification holds across variants.
Rules applied: GRI 1, GRI 6.

Confidence 0.45. An electric kettle is an electrothermic household appliance under 8516.79, and none of the offered national lines describes kettles; the deep fat fryer and ironing board lines do not fit, so the residual 'Other' line 8516797090 is the only applicable choice, with reduced confidence because the product data omits the details needed to confirm the national subdivision.
