8508.70.00.00 - Parts

This category, HTS 8508.70.00.00, is designated for "Parts" specifically relating to vacuum cleaners. It encompasses a broad range of components and sub-assemblies intended for use in the construction, repair, or maintenance of vacuum cleaning equipment. This includes items such as hoses, wands, brushes, motors, filters, dust bags, and structural components. The primary criterion for classification here is that the item must be identifiable as a part specifically designed for and primarily used with a vacuum cleaner, rather than a general-purpose item.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 8508.60.00.00, which classifies "Other vacuum cleaners." While 8508.60.00.00 covers complete, functional vacuum cleaning units, 8508.70.00.00 focuses exclusively on individual components that, on their own, do not constitute a complete vacuum cleaner but are integral to its operation or construction.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code relies on thoroughly assessing the nature and intended use of the component. If a part is designed to function independently as a cleaning device, it would fall under a different HTS classification. Conversely, items that are clearly identifiable as replacement or manufacturing components for vacuum cleaners, regardless of their specific function (e.g., suction, filtration, power, or structure), are appropriately classified under this heading.
