Heading 8508 : Vacuum cleaners.
Subject to Note 1 (d) to Chapter 85, this heading covers vacuum cleaners of all kinds, whether or not hand-held, including dry and wet vacuum cleaners, whether or not presented with accessories such as rotary brushes, carpet beating devices, multiple-function suction heads, etc.
Vacuum cleaners perform two functions : the suction of material, including dust, and the filtering of the air stream. Suction is effected by means of a turbine fixed directly onto the shaft of the motor, turning at high velocity. The dust and other material are collected in an internal or external dust bag or other receptacle, whereas the air sucked in and filtered is also used to cool the motor.
The heading includes, inter alia, vacuum cleaner type grooming apparatus for horses or cattle.
Excluded from this heading are appliances for cleaning carpets in situ by injecting a liquid cleaning solution into the carpet, the solution then being extracted by suction, which are not combination dry and wet vacuum cleaners (heading 84.51 or 85.09).
This heading also excludes vacuum apparatus of a kind used in medical, surgical, dental or veterinary sciences (heading 90.18).EQUIPMENT PRESENTED WITH THE APPLIANCES OF THIS HEADING
