CBP's answer: B. B: 8516.60.4070
Chapter 85 Additional U.S. Note 2 includes in toasters (8516.72) only toaster-ovens designed essentially for toasting bread that can also bake small items. This 12-liter appliance bakes, broils, air-fries and fits a nine-inch pizza, so it is a multi-function oven rather than a toaster. That puts it in other portable cooking stoves, ranges and ovens: 8516.60.4070.
