Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for other microwave tubes like klystrons
Different microwave tube types (non-magnetrons) classify under separate subheadings regardless of oven modification.
If including printed circuit control boards
Magnetrons with integrated electronic controls may classify as complete oven subassemblies under heading 8516.
If adapted for oven testing equipment
Instrument versions for microwave performance testing fall under measuring instruments rather than appliance parts.

The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right HTS code — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Maintain supplier affidavits confirming modifications occurred post-manufacture for oven-specific use
• Use HTS-specific invoice declarations to differentiate from generic magnetrons during entry summary filing
• Test for FCC electromagnetic compliance, as oven parts must meet household emission standards
