Use HS-6 850811 when importing or exporting vacuum cleaners that have a self-contained electric motor with a power rating of up to 1,500 watts and a dust receptacle capacity not exceeding 20 liters. For example, a shipment of household vacuum cleaners designed for residential use fits this classification.
This code specifically covers vacuum cleaners that are compact and designed for everyday cleaning tasks. In contrast, HS-6 850812 includes vacuum cleaners with more powerful motors or larger dust capacities, which may be used in commercial settings.
When classifying your product, ensure it meets the specifications of having a motor under 1,500 W and a dust bag capacity of 20 liters or less. If your vacuum cleaner exceeds these limits, you will need to consider a different HS code.
Common products under this code include upright vacuum cleaners, canister vacuum cleaners, and handheld models, all designed for home use. If you have a robotic vacuum cleaner, it may fall under a different classification.
