HSN codes are essential for classifying goods under India’s GST system. While the term “Cat6 cable” isn’t explicitly mentioned in the provided data, we can infer its likely classification based on the description of insulated wires and cables used for electrical conductivity or optical transmission. This blog post explores the probable HSN codes and GST rates applicable to Cat6 cables.
Based on the data, Cat6 cables, being insulated electric conductors, are most likely classified under Chapter 85, which covers electrical machinery and equipment.
The data lists several HSN codes under the heading “Insulated (Including Enamelled Or Anodised) Wire, Cable (Including Co-Axial Cable) And Other Insulated Electric Conductors…; Optical Fibre Cables…” All these listed codes attract an 18% GST rate. These include:
Given that Cat6 cables are insulated electric conductors used for data transmission in networking, they would likely fall under one of these HSN codes within Chapter 85 and be subject to an 18% GST rate. The specific HSN code might depend on the cable’s exact construction, voltage rating, and whether it’s fitted with connectors.
The data also mentions other types of cables under different chapters with varying GST rates, highlighting that not all cables are taxed at 18%:
However, these are distinct from Cat6 Ethernet cables used for data networking.
Cat6 cables, being insulated electric conductors for data transmission, are most likely classified under Chapter 85 of the HSN code.
Based on the data for similar insulated electric conductors, Cat6 cables are likely subject to an 8% GST rate.
No, the term “Cat6 cable” is not explicitly mentioned. However, it would likely fall under one of the HSN codes listed for insulated wires and cables within Chapter 85.
The provided data shows a consistent 18% GST for various insulated electric conductors and optical fiber cables, suggesting Cat6 would also fall under this rate.
No, wooden cable drums are classified under Chapter 44 as packing materials and have a 12% GST rate.
The 18% GST rate for the listed insulated electric conductors became effective on 01/07/2017, with a revision on 15/11/2017. This would likely apply to Cat6 cables as well.
