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 current HTS further identifies statistical suffix 20 as “Automatic drip and pump type.”
One stored ordinary base-rate observation
The history artifact reviewed 53 revisions between 2024-12-31 and 2026-09-15, 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.
