The merchandise is identified as the Capresso Iced Tea Maker, Model Number 624.02. It is an electrothermic domestic tea brewing machine.

It measures 13.5 inches tall by 6.25 inches wide by 9.75 inches deep. The machine in itself does not cool/ice the tea. That can be achieved by adding ice to the brewed tea in carafe.

The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.
