Overview
Heading 8509 encompasses a broad range of electromechanical domestic appliances designed for household use, all powered by an integral electric motor. This category specifically excludes vacuum cleaners, which are classified under heading 8508. The defining characteristic of appliances within this heading is their self-contained electric motor driving a functional component for a domestic task.
Distinguishing 8509 from its sibling categories involves recognizing its focus on specific domestic appliances. Unlike broader machinery categories or those for agricultural or office equipment, 8509 targets items commonly found and used within a household setting for tasks such as food preparation, cleaning, or personal grooming. The presence of a self-contained electric motor is a crucial differentiator from manually operated domestic tools or appliances powered by external power sources.
Within heading 8509, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on the specific function of the appliance. Subheading 8509.40.00 is dedicated to food grinders, processors, and mixers, as well as fruit and vegetable juice extractors, grouping together appliances primarily used for food preparation. Subheading 8509.80 covers "other appliances" that do not fit into the more specific categories, while 8509.90 is reserved for parts and accessories of these domestic electromechanical appliances.
