HS code for Espresso machine, household
HS 2022Destination USConfidence 0.88Electric 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 > Other electrothermic appliances > Coffee or tea makers
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
The product is a domestic espresso machine. Heading 8516 covers other electrothermic appliances of a kind used for domestic purposes, and its subheading 851671 names coffee or tea makers specifically, so GRI 1 and GRI 6 point to it. Heading 8419 excludes machinery of a kind used for domestic purposes, which removes 841981. Heading 8509 is limited to electromechanical appliances and Chapter 85 Note 4(b) sends electrothermic appliances to 8516, so 850980 is out. Heating is the essential function. A built-in grinder or milk frother would not change the principal function of brewing espresso, so the choice holds under the unknown details.
Rules applied: GRI 1, GRI 6, Heading 8419 domestic exclusion, Chapter 85 Note 4.

Information that would confirm the code
- Does the machine include an integrated coffee grinder?
- Is it a pump-driven machine with a heating element, as is typical for espresso machines?

Coffee makers > Other
Confidence 0.50. The product is a household espresso coffee maker, so it falls under the coffee makers group, but the listing does not verify a pump or drip mechanism needed for the 'Automatic drip and pump type' line, so the residual 'Other' coffee maker line is taken with reduced confidence and needs_review should be treated as true.
