HS Code 8508.70 – Parts of vacuum cleaners
HS code 8508.70 is the 6-digit subheading for parts of vacuum cleaners. It is used for vacuum cleaner motors, HEPA filters, dust bags, vacuum hoses and floor nozzles.
What HS 8508.70 covers
This HS code encompasses all parts and accessories specifically designed for vacuum cleaners falling under heading 8508. This includes a vast array of components, from replacement motors, hoses, nozzles, and filters to dust bags, brushes, and electronic control boards. The international trade in these parts is crucial for the maintenance, repair, and customization of vacuum cleaners across all categories (domestic, commercial, industrial). Major importers are often countries with large consumer bases for vacuum cleaners or significant repair and service industries, while exporters are typically nations with strong manufacturing capabilities for plastics, electronics, and small motors. Key considerations include the standardization of parts, the availability of genuine versus aftermarket components, and the increasing demand for specialized filters (e.g., HEPA) and durable accessories. The global supply chain for these parts is complex, supporting both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the aftermarket.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
