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.
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.
The term “plug” also appears in other diverse contexts within the HSN system:
It is evident that simply using the term “plug” is not enough for accurate HSN classification; the context and specific function are paramount.
General electrical plugs for voltages not exceeding 1,000 volts often fall under HSN codes like 85369090 or 85361040.
Most electrical plugs and connectors have an 18% GST rate.
Ear plugs are classified under HSN code 40169970.
Refractory ceramic plugs (HSN 69031010) have an 18% GST rate.
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.
