Understanding the AC Drive HSN Code ⚡

The classification of AC drives generally falls under Chapter 85 of the HSN, which deals with “Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles.”

While the provided data lists many HSN codes related to “Electric Motors And Generators” (HSN 8501) and their parts (HSN 8503), it’s important to recognize that an AC drive (VFD) is not an electric motor or generator itself. Instead, it’s a “static converter” that regulates the power supply to the motor.

Based on common industry practice and other resources, AC drives (Variable Frequency Drives) are primarily classified under:

  • HSN 8504: Electrical transformers, static converters (for example, rectifiers) and inductors.
    • Specifically, under HSN 850440, which pertains to “Static converters.”
    • Many AC drives are further classified under 85044090, which covers “Other” static converters, or 85044010 for “Electric inverter” which an AC drive essentially is.

The data provided primarily focuses on various types of AC motors and generators (HSN 8501) and their parts (HSN 8503), all of which typically attract an 18% GST rate effective from July 1, 2017. While an AC drive works with an AC motor, it’s a distinct electrical apparatus. The general GST rate for goods under Chapter 85 (Electrical machinery and equipment) tends to be 18%, and this rate commonly applies to AC drives as well.

Therefore, for AC drives (VFDs), the most relevant HSN codes usually fall under 8504, specifically sub-headings like 85044090 or 85044010, and they typically attract an 18% GST rate.

FAQs

What is the primary HSN code for an AC Drive?

The primary HSN code for an AC Drive (Variable Frequency Drive) is typically 8504.

What category does HSN 8504 represent?

HSN 8504 represents “Electrical transformers, static converters (for example, rectifiers) and inductors.”

What is the specific HSN code for most AC Drives/VFDs?

Most AC Drives/VFDs are commonly classified under HSN 85044090 (for other static converters) or 85044010 (for electric inverters).

What is the GST rate for AC Drives in India?

The GST rate for AC Drives in India is generally 18%.

What is the purpose of an AC Drive?

An AC Drive controls the speed and torque of an AC electric motor by varying its frequency and voltage.

Can the HSN code for an AC drive vary based on its specific function or type?

Yes, while HSN 8504 is the primary chapter, specific sub-headings (like 85044010 or 85044090) or even other chapters (like 8537 for control panels that might integrate drives) could apply depending on the drive’s specific characteristics, integration, or primary function.
