HS code 8508.11 · Chapter 85

Vacuum cleaners with self-contained electric motor ≤1500W

Vacuum cleaners, including cordless and robot vacuums, with self-contained electric motor, power ≤1500W.

Current duty on this code

Base most-favoured-nation duty, pulled from the official tariff schedule when the destination publishes one. It does not include country-specific additional tariffs — for a US import those (Section 301, the 2025 reciprocal measures) can dwarf the base rate, and Kustaro shows them separately on a real classification.
