Understanding the HSN Code for Aluminium Cables
Aluminium cables are fundamental to electrical transmission and distribution, playing a vital role in powering homes, industries, and infrastructure. For businesses involved in the manufacturing, trade, or use of these cables in India, understanding their correct Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code is essential for seamless GST compliance. The HSN classification for aluminium cables primarily depends on whether they are electrically insulated or not.
This blog post will clarify the HSN codes for aluminium cables, drawing insights from the provided data.
HSN Codes for Non-Electrically Insulated Aluminium Cables
When we talk about aluminium cables that are not electrically insulated, they typically fall under Chapter 76: Aluminium and articles thereof. This category covers the raw forms and basic fabricated products of aluminium.
- Stranded Wire, Cables, Plaited Bands And The Like, Of Aluminium, Not Electrically Insulated: This is the most direct classification for uninsulated aluminium cables.
- With Steel Core: HSN 76141000, attracting an 18% GST rate. These cables are commonly used in overhead power transmission where strength is critical.
- Other: HSN 76149000, also with an 18% GST rate. This covers uninsulated aluminium cables without a steel core.
- The broader category of 7614 also applies, with an 18% GST rate, encompassing all such non-electrically insulated aluminium stranded wire, cables, and similar items.
These codes are crucial for suppliers and manufacturers of raw or bare aluminium conductors before any insulation is applied.
HSN Codes for Electrically Insulated Aluminium Cables
Once an aluminium cable is electrically insulated, its classification shifts from Chapter 76 (Aluminium) to Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof. This highlights the transformation of a raw material into an electrical component.
- Insulated (Including Enamelled Or Anodised) Wire, Cable (Including Co-Axial Cable) And Other Insulated Electric Conductors, Whether Or Not Fitted With Connectors; Optical Fibre Cables, Made Up Of Individually Sheathed Fibres, Whether Or Not Assembled With: This comprehensive description covers a wide range of insulated electrical conductors.
- Various HSN codes within this broader category, such as 85445930, 85445130, 85444293, and 85441930, are listed. All these specific codes for insulated electrical conductors (which would include insulated aluminium cables) attract an 18% GST rate.
This distinction is vital: if you are dealing with a bare aluminium conductor, use Chapter 76. If it’s already insulated for electrical purposes, it moves to Chapter 85.
Other “Aluminium” Related HSN Classifications
The provided data also contains other items related to aluminium, but it’s important not to confuse them with aluminium cables:
- Aluminium Casks, Drums, Cans, Boxes (e.g., 76121090, 76130091): These are containers made of aluminium, not cables.
- Aluminium Tableware, Kitchenware, Sanitary Ware (e.g., 76152010, 7615): These are household or sanitary articles.
- Aluminium in Primary Forms (e.g., 760611, 760120): These refer to unalloyed aluminium or aluminium alloys in their raw forms.
- Other Aluminium Articles (e.g., Nails, Screws, Bolts – 76161000; Cloth, Grill – 76169100): These are various other fabricated aluminium products.
- Raw Petroleum Coke For Anode Making In Aluminium Industry (HSN 27131110): This is a raw material used in the aluminium industry, not an aluminium product itself.
- Aluminium Oxide; Aluminium Hydroxide (HSN 28182090, 28181000): These are chemical compounds of aluminium.
- Twine, Cordage, Ropes And Cables… Of Jute (HSN 56071010): This is a type of cable made of jute, not aluminium.
