The Connector Plug HSN Code

The term “connector plug” immediately brings to mind electrical connections, and indeed, this is where most relevant HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) codes lie. However, the word “plug” can also appear in unexpected contexts within the HSN system. Understanding these various classifications is crucial for accurate GST (Goods and Services Tax) compliance in India. This blog post will clarify the diverse “Connector Plug HSN Codes” based on their function, material, and application.

HSN Codes for Electrical Plugs and Connectors

The majority of “connector plug” related HSN codes fall 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. This chapter deals with apparatus for switching, protecting, or making connections in electrical circuits.

  • For Voltages Exceeding 1,000 Volts:
    • 85351090: This HSN code covers “Fuses, Lightning Arresters, Voltage Limiters, Surge Suppressors, Plugs, Junction Boxes)” for a voltage exceeding 1,000 Volts. The GST rate is 18%.
    • 8535: This is a broader heading that includes plugs and other connectors for voltages exceeding 1,000 volts. The GST rate is 18%.
  • For Voltages Not Exceeding 1,000 Volts:
    • 85369090: This HSN code covers “Electrical Apparatus For Switching Or Protecting Electrical Circuits, Or For Making Connections To Or In Electrical Circuits (For Example, Switches, Relays, Fuses, Surge Suppressors, Plugs, Sockets, Lamp-Holders, Junction Boxes), For A Voltage Not Exceeding 1,000 Volts – Other.” The GST rate is 18%.
    • 85361040: This specifically lists “Switches, Relays, Fuses, Surge Suppressors, Plugs, Sockets, Lamp-Holders, Junction Boxes” for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 Volts. The GST rate is 18%.
    • 85362020: Another entry within the same category for voltages not exceeding 1,000 Volts. The GST rate is 18%.
    • 85366110: This refers to “Plugs, Sockets, Lamp-Holders, Junction Boxes” for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 Volts. The GST rate is 18%.
  • Ignition Plugs for Engines:
    • 85112000: This HSN code covers “Sparking Plugs And Glow Plugs” used in electrical ignition or starting equipment for internal combustion engines. The GST rate is 28%.
  • Plugs as Part of Circuit Breakers (Voltage Exceeding 1,000 Volts):
    • 85352929: This covers “Vacuum Circuit Breakers: Other” where plugs are part of the description for automatic circuit breakers exceeding 1,000 Volts. The GST rate is 18%.
    • 85352912: For “SF6 Circuit Breakers: For A Voltage Of 220 Kv.” The GST rate is 18%.
    • 85352913: For “SF6 Circuit Breakers: For A Voltage Of 400 Kv.” The GST rate is 18%.
    • 85352911: For “SF6 Circuit Breakers: For A Voltage Of 132 Kv.” The GST rate is 18%.
    • 85359090: This covers “Other” apparatus including plugs, for voltages exceeding 1,000 Volts. The GST rate is 18%.

Other “Plug” Related HSN Codes (Non-Electrical)

The term “plug” also appears in other diverse contexts within the HSN system:

  • Chapter 40: Rubber and articles thereof
    • 40169970: This HSN code covers “Ear Plug” under other articles of vulcanized rubber. The GST rate is 18%.
  • Chapter 64: Footwear, gaiters and the like; parts of such articles
    • 64019190, 64019110, 64019210: These HSN codes refer to Waterproof Footwear where the uppers are assembled by “Plugging” or similar processes. The GST rate is 18%.
    • 64022090: This HSN code is for “Footwear With Upper Straps Or Thongs Assembled To The Sole By Means Of Plugs: Other.” The GST rate is 18%.
  • Chapter 87: Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock, and parts and accessories thereof
    • 870350, 870370: These HSN codes cover Hybrid Vehicles Capable Of Being Charged By Plugging To External Source Of Electric Power. The GST rate is 28% with varying Cess rates.
  • Chapter 69: Ceramic products
    • 69031010: This HSN code includes “Plugs” among other refractory ceramic goods. The GST rate is 18%.

It is evident that simply using the term “plug” is not enough for accurate HSN classification; the context and specific function are paramount.

FAQs

What is the general HSN code for electrical plugs for voltages not exceeding 1,000 volts?

General electrical plugs for voltages not exceeding 1,000 volts often fall under HSN codes like 85369090 or 85361040.

What is the GST rate for most electrical plugs and connectors?

Most electrical plugs and connectors have an 18% GST rate.

What HSN code applies to ear plugs?

Ear plugs are classified under HSN code 40169970.

What is the GST rate for refractory ceramic plugs?

Refractory ceramic plugs (HSN 69031010) have an 18% GST rate.

How do I differentiate between a connector and a plug for HSN purposes?

In the context of the provided data, “plugs” are often listed as a type of connector or an integral part of an electrical connection apparatus, with HSN codes covering both. The specific function (e.g., spark plug for ignition vs. power plug) determines the exact HSN.
