The product is a specially designed support made of heat-resistant stainless steel wire, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 800 °C. It consists of bent wires with ends to allow secure attachment in an orifice located at the base of the electric grill body. Its main function is to securely hold the heating element of the grill, supporting its weight and ensuring uniform heat distribution on the cooking surface. This support does not perform any other functions, notably it does not generate heat. According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI 1 and 6) and the wording of the Combined Nomenclature (CN) codes, although this component is essential for the operation of the electric grill, it is not identifiable as a part exclusively or mainly intended for electrothermal appliances of heading 8516. Therefore, it is excluded from this heading and should be classified according to its constituent material, namely a wire product of steel, under heading 7326, CN code 7326 20 00. This classification is in accordance with the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union (case C-336/11). The product is thus a stainless steel wire product used as a retention device for the heating element of an electric grill, ensuring electrical safety and durability of the device.
