Overview
This HTS category, 8508.60.00.00, encompasses all vacuum cleaners that do not fall under the specific headings for those with self-contained electric motors. It is crucial to differentiate this category from its sibling, 8508.70.00.00, which exclusively covers parts and accessories for vacuum cleaners, rather than the complete machines themselves.
The scope of "Other vacuum cleaners" is broad and includes appliances that perform vacuum cleaning functions but operate differently from typical electric motor-driven units. This might encompass devices powered by external air sources, manual suction mechanisms, or other less common methods of generating vacuum for cleaning purposes. For a product to be classified here, it must fundamentally be a vacuum cleaner by function but lack the defining characteristic of an integrated electric motor for its primary operation.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 8508.60.00.00 relies heavily on the precise functional definition of a vacuum cleaner and the absence of a self-contained electric motor as the driving force for its suction mechanism.
