Explore global trade with HS codes

HS Code 8508 covers vacuum cleaners, including dry and wet vacuum cleaners. The classification distinguishes between domestic vacuum cleaners (8508.11-8508.19), other vacuum cleaners (8508.60), and parts (8508.70). This household and industrial cleaning equipment category includes devices that create suction to remove dust, debris, and small particles from surfaces and spaces. Products range from handheld cordless units to central vacuum systems for buildings and specialized industrial vacuum systems. Technical specifications focus on suction power, airflow, filtration efficiency, capacity, noise levels, and energy consumption. Unlike general fan-based air moving equipment (HS 8414), these specialized systems incorporate filtration components and are specifically designed for cleaning applications. This division represents both consumer appliances for household maintenance and specialized industrial equipment for cleaning in commercial, manufacturing, and institutional settings, providing mechanized dust and debris removal capabilities that significantly reduce manual cleaning labor while improving environmental hygiene.
