The Cat 6 Cable HSN Code for GST Compliance
In today’s interconnected world, Cat 6 cables are ubiquitous, forming the backbone of countless networks in homes, offices, and data centers. From connecting your computer to a router to supporting high-speed data transmission, these cables are essential. For businesses involved in their import, export, or sale, accurately classifying Cat 6 cables under the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) is vital for proper GST (Goods and Services Tax) compliance.
While the provided data might initially seem unrelated, listing HSN codes for various plant and flower products, this actually highlights a common challenge: pinpointing the correct HSN for specialized items. For Cat 6 cables, we must look beyond these initial examples and consider their core function as electrical conductors.
Understanding HSN Classification for Cables
HSN codes are globally recognized product classification numbers. In India, they dictate the applicable GST rate. For cables like Cat 6, their classification hinges on their electrical conductivity and insulation. This typically places them under Chapter 85: 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.
Specifically, Cat 6 cables fall under HSN code 8544, which covers “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 electric conductors or fitted with connectors.”
The Specifics of Cat 6 Cable HSN Codes and GST
Within HSN 8544, various sub-classifications can apply depending on the specific characteristics of the Cat 6 cable:
- HSN 854442: This sub-heading is for “Electric conductors for a voltage ≤1,000V, insulated, fitted with connectors, n.e.s.” Many Cat 6 cables come pre-fitted with RJ45 connectors. This is a common classification for finished Cat 6 patch cords.
- Further specific codes like 85444292 (plastic insulated, of a kind used in telecommunication) and 85444299 (other, when fitted with connectors) are frequently used for Cat 6 cables.
- HSN 854449: This covers “Other electric conductors, for a voltage ≤1,000V, insulated, not fitted with connectors, n.e.s.” If you are dealing with bulk Cat 6 cable rolls without pre-attached connectors, this sub-heading would be more appropriate.
- Codes like 85444999 (other insulated conductors not fitted with connectors) are relevant here.
- HSN 854470: This relates to “Optical fibre cables, made up of individually sheathed fibres, whether or not assembled with electric conductors or fitted with connectors.” While Cat 6 is a copper-based cable, it is sometimes mentioned in broader discussions alongside fiber optic cables in the context of networking, but its direct classification is typically under the electrical conductor sections of 8544.
The prevailing GST rate for Cat 6 cables, regardless of specific sub-classification within HSN 8544, is consistently 18%. This rate has been in effect since July 1, 2017, for most insulated wires and cables under this chapter.
