U.S. imports of vacuum cleaners with self-contained electric motor, ≤1500w and ≤20l capacity (HS 850811) totaled $181.2M in April 2026, traded with 27 countries.
Importers of Vacuum Cleaners with Self-Contained Electric Motor, ≤1500W and ≤20L Capacity paid $24.8M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 15% on $170.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataDefined by two simultaneous thresholds — motor power not exceeding 1,500 W and dust receptacle capacity not exceeding 20 liters — these vacuum cleaners represent the mainstream consumer and light-commercial segment and enter under a single 10-digit line (8508110000). Vietnam leads US imports under this heading, followed by Malaysia and China, reflecting the broad shift of consumer electronics assembly away from China into Southeast Asia. Section 301 tariffs continue to affect Chinese-origin units, making origin documentation and supply-chain traceability a priority for importers sourcing across multiple countries.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Units with a motor power above 1,500 W or a dust receptacle capacity above 20 liters do not qualify under 8508.11 and instead fall under 8508.19 (vacuum cleaners with self-contained electric motor, NESOI). Importers should obtain technical specifications from the manufacturer to confirm both parameters before classification.
Robotic vacuum cleaners with a self-contained electric motor that meet the power and capacity thresholds (≤1,500 W, ≤20 L) generally classify under 8508.11. However, if the unit's primary function or design places it outside the conventional vacuum cleaner definition, CBP may consider alternative headings. A binding ruling is recommended for novel robotic designs.
