## Common ground
All are non-electrical devices used to brew coffee or tea without electricity.
## Options at a glance
**7013.4X – Made of glass**
- **Defining trait:** Constructed primarily from glass, often transparent and heat-resistant.
- **Typical examples:** French press with glass carafe, pour-over cone with glass dripper.
- **Best fit when:** The product is visibly made of glass and relies on visual appeal or thermal insulation properties.
**7323.93 – Made of stainless steel**
- **Defining trait:** Built from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, typically durable and heat-conductive.
- **Typical examples:** Stainless steel French press, insulated coffee maker with steel body.
- **Best fit when:** The product is made of metal with a shiny, robust finish and high durability.
**7615.10 – Made of aluminium**
- **Defining trait:** Constructed from lightweight aluminium, often anodized or coated for heat distribution.
- **Typical examples:** Aluminium pour-over dripper, lightweight camping coffee maker.
- **Best fit when:** The product is light in weight and made primarily of aluminium.
**8210.00 – Non-electric mechanical appliances ≤10 kg**
- **Defining trait:** Defined by function and weight—non-electrical, manually operated, under 10 kg.
- **Typical examples:** Manual coffee grinder, hand-pouring kettle, collapsible travel brewer.
- **Best fit when:** The item is a mechanical device (e.g., with moving parts) and weighs 10 kg or less.
## Key differences
| Feature | Glass (7013.4X) | Stainless Steel (7323.93) | Aluminium (7615.10) | Mechanical ≤10 kg (8210.00) |
|---------------------|------------------|----------------------------|----------------------|-------------------------------|
| Material | Glass | Stainless steel | Aluminium | Any material |
| Weight | Varies | Often heavier | Lightweight | ≤10 kg |
| Function focus | Brewing vessel | Durability & heat retention| Lightness & conduction | Manual operation |
## How to choose
- Is the product made of glass? → 7013.4X
- Is it made of stainless steel? → 7323.93
- Is it made of aluminium? → 7615.10
- Does it rely on mechanical action (e.g., grinding, pressing) and weigh ≤10 kg? → 8210.00
## Overlaps & pitfalls
A product may fit multiple categories—e.g., a stainless steel French press is both 7323.93 and 8210.00. If the material is clear, use the material-based code (7323.93). If the function (mechanical operation) is the defining feature, use 8210.00. When in doubt, prioritize the **material** unless the product’s mechanical function is its main purpose
