In the world of electronics and surveillance, cables are the unsung heroes connecting devices and transmitting vital data. For CCTV camera systems, the cables play a critical role in ensuring clear images and reliable operation. When dealing with these components, especially for business and taxation, knowing the correct Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code is essential.
CCTV camera cables, at their core, are insulated electrical conductors. This puts them squarely within Chapter 85 of the HSN, which covers “Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof.” More specifically, they fall under the heading 8544: “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.”
Within this broad category, various sub-headings exist, often differentiating based on the type of insulation or specific application. The data provided highlights several HSN codes within 8544, such as 85445930, 85445130, 85444293, 85441930, 85441990, and 85445950. While the exact sub-heading for a particular CCTV cable might depend on its precise specifications (e.g., co-axial, optical fiber, or other insulated conductors), the overarching HSN Chapter 85 and heading 8544 consistently apply.
For almost all these insulated electrical conductors, including those used for CCTV cameras, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate is 18%. This rate has been in effect for most of these codes since November 15, 2017, and for some, as early as July 1, 2017. This consistent tax rate across various types of electrical cables simplifies compliance for businesses dealing with these components.
Accurate HSN code classification ensures proper tax assessment, helps in seamless import and export procedures, and prevents discrepancies in financial records. Whether you are a manufacturer, distributor, or installer of CCTV systems, understanding the HSN code for your cables is a key aspect of sound business practice.
CCTV camera cables generally fall under Chapter 85 of the HSN, which covers electrical machinery and equipment.
The main HSN heading is 8544, which includes “Insulated (Including Enamelled Or Anodised) Wire, Cable (Including Co-Axial Cable) And Other Insulated Electric Conductors.”
The GST rate for CCTV camera cables, classified under HSN 8544, is typically 18%.
The 18% GST rate for various sub-categories under HSN 8544 became effective on November 15, 2017, and some as early as July 1, 2017.
HSN stands for Harmonized System of Nomenclature.
For precise classification, it is always recommended to consult official GST guidelines, customs tariffs, or a tax professional, considering the specific characteristics of the cable.
