The household vacuum cleaner, as one of the most widely used electrical appliances in homes, plays a key role in maintaining hygiene and cleanliness of the living environment. Using powerful suction technology, it can collect dust, allergens, and other fine pollutants from various surfaces. Household vacuum cleaners are produced in various models such as bagged, bagless (cyclonic), robotic, and handheld. Each model, depending on its technology and design, has its own advantages and disadvantages that affect market choice.
2) Types and Applications of Household Vacuum Cleaners
Features and applications: Bagged, bagless (cyclonic), robotic, and handheld vacuum cleaners each have their own pros/considerations. Strong suction, HEPA filters, noise level, energy consumption, and accessories (nozzles/brushes) are key selection criteria. They are commonly used in homes, hotels, offices, and shops, playing an important role in environmental hygiene.

4) Specialized Clearance Steps and Key Points
- Household vacuum cleaner clearance from customs is a specialized process that requires full awareness of customs laws and precise compliance with standards related to this product. Below are the main stages of vacuum cleaner clearance from customs explained in detail:
1. Order Registration in the Comprehensive Trade System
Entering product data: The first step in clearance is registering the household vacuum cleaner order in Iran’s Comprehensive Trade System. At this stage, precise product data including type, model, HS Code, country of origin, number of imported units, and technical specifications are entered.
Initial approvals: After submitting the data, initial approvals are issued by the Ministry of Industry, Mining and Trade.
2. Obtaining Necessary Permits
National and safety standards: Household vacuum cleaners must comply with national and international standards. For clearance, obtaining certificates of standard and safety from the Institute of Standards and Industrial Research of Iran is required. This includes approvals such as energy consumption and electrical safety.
Special permits: In some cases, environmental or health permits may also be required for clearance.
3. Transportation and Entry to Customs
International transport: After obtaining permits, household vacuum cleaners are shipped from the country of origin to Iran. This process may be carried out via sea, air, or land transport.
Entry to customs: Upon arrival at Iranian borders, vacuum cleaners are transferred to customs warehouses and prepared for clearance steps.
4. Declaration Submission and Document Presentation
Customs declaration: The importer or legal representative (such as a customs broker) must complete the customs declaration and submit it to customs. This declaration includes full details of the goods, their value, shipping and insurance costs.
Document submission: Documents such as the bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and obtained permits must be submitted to customs.
5. Inspection and Valuation of Goods
Technical inspection: Customs may conduct inspections to ensure the goods match the declared data. At this stage, vacuum cleaners are checked for technical specifications, energy consumption, energy labeling, and compliance with safety standards.
Valuation: Customs experts determine the value of the goods to calculate customs duties and tariffs.
6. Payment of Customs Duties and Charges
Calculation and settlement: After valuation, customs calculates the costs related to customs duties, value-added tax, customs service fees, and special charges. The importer must pay these in full to clear the goods.
7. Issuance of Clearance License
Clearance license: After payment of all charges, customs issues the clearance license which permits the release of goods from the warehouse and delivery to the final destination.
8. Delivery of Goods and Final Clearance
Domestic transport: After receiving the clearance license, vacuum cleaners are transported from the customs warehouse to the final destination (such as the importer’s warehouse or retail shops).
Delivery: The goods are delivered to the final destination and the clearance process ends.
9. Post-Clearance Follow-up
Financial records: The importer must record the clearance and related costs in their financial systems.
Handling issues: In case of any problem or need for follow-up, the importer can contact customs or their broker.
5) Special Import and Export Conditions
- Importing household vacuum cleaners into Iran is subject to a set of legal requirements and regulations. These include compliance with national standards, obtaining necessary permits, and consideration of special import conditions from certain countries. Exchange rates and trade policy changes also affect imports of this product. In terms of exports, due to high-quality domestic production, Iran can target potential markets in neighboring countries as well as African and Asian markets. Improving production quality and compliance with international standards can significantly increase Iran’s share in global markets.
6) Major Exporting and Importing Countries
Exporting countries: Household vacuum cleaner exports are mainly carried out by leading producers of electronic equipment and home appliances. The largest global exporters include China, Germany, the United States, South Korea, and Japan. These countries, relying on advanced technology and high production capacity, supply a large share of the global market demand. China in particular is recognized as the world’s largest exporter of vacuum cleaners, with many reputable global brands manufacturing in this country.
Importing countries: On the other hand, the largest importers of household vacuum cleaners include the United States, Western European countries such as Germany and France, Japan, and South Korea. Due to high consumer demand, these countries import significant quantities of such products. In Iran as well, imported vacuum cleaners play a major role in meeting domestic market needs, with a significant share supplied through imports.
7) Key Compliance, Energy Labeling, and Packaging Notes
- Consistency of model name, power (W), voltage/frequency, and serial number across device, carton, and invoice.
- Providing a user manual/safety warning label in an acceptable language.
- Packaging protection against impact/moisture and inclusion of handling symbols.
