Understanding the Copper Armoured Cable HSN Code
Copper armoured cables are the backbone of many electrical installations, providing robust and reliable power transmission. For businesses and professionals dealing with these essential components, pinpointing the correct Harmonized System Nomenclature (HSN) code and understanding the associated Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates are critical for smooth operations and tax compliance. Let’s explore the classification of copper armoured cables.
Identify the HSN Code for Copper Armoured Cable
While the provided data doesn’t offer a single, direct HSN code specifically for “Copper Armoured Cable,” it provides strong indications for its classification. Copper armoured cables are essentially insulated electric conductors. Therefore, they fall under Chapter 85 of the HSN, which covers “Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof.”
More precisely, the relevant HSN codes for insulated copper cables would be within the broader category of:
- 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”
The data provides specific sub-headings within 8544 that would encompass copper armoured cables:
- 85445930: This code specifically mentions “Other insulated electric conductors” which would include various types of insulated copper cables.
- 85445130: This suggests a specific type of insulated conductor, likely pertaining to a particular voltage or construction, which could include armoured cables.
- 85444293: This code also points to other insulated electric conductors, further solidifying that armoured copper cables belong in this chapter.
The key takeaway is that the presence of insulation, regardless of the armouring, places these cables squarely within HSN 8544.
Grasp the GST Rate for Copper Armoured Cable
Based on the provided information, all the relevant HSN codes under 8544 (85445930, 85445130, 85444293) for insulated electric conductors, which include copper armoured cables, are subject to an 18% GST rate. This rate has been consistently applied since the implementation of GST on July 1, 2017, with a specific effective date of November 15, 2017, for these particular sub-headings, likely reflecting a consolidation or clarification.
Examine Related Copper and Cable Classifications
The data also offers insights into the classification of other copper products and related items, which helps in understanding the broader context:
- 74130000 / 7413 (Stranded Wire, Cables, Plated Bands, Of Copper, Not Electrically Insulated): These codes fall under Chapter 74 (“Copper and articles thereof”) and cover uninsulated copper cables and wires. These also attract an 18% GST rate. This distinction is crucial: if the copper cable is bare (uninsulated), it’s in Chapter 74; if it’s insulated (like an armoured cable), it moves to Chapter 85.
- 7404 (Copper Waste And Scrap): Copper waste and scrap are also taxed at 18% GST.
- 7407 (Copper Bars, Rods And Profiles): Various forms of copper bars, rods, and profiles, including brass (copper-zinc alloys), are subject to an 18% GST rate.
- 7402, 7401, 7416, 7417, 7419 (Other Copper Articles): Unrefined copper, copper mattes, copper springs, and other articles of copper generally fall under an 18% GST rate, with some exceptions like copper springs (74160000) and cooking apparatus parts (74170091), which showed a 0% rate from July 1, 2017, in the data, indicating highly specific classifications.
- 78020010 (Lead Waste And Scrap – Lead Covered Copper Cable): This code specifically mentions “Lead Covered Copper Cable” as lead waste and scrap, attracting an 18% GST rate. This highlights a classification based on the primary material if it’s considered scrap.
- 72299013 / 72299012 (Wire Of Other Alloy Steel – Copper Coated Wire, Not Insulated): This indicates that copper-coated steel wire, if uninsulated, falls under iron and steel and is taxed at 18% GST.
- 28480010 (Phosphides Of Copper): Inorganic chemicals like phosphides of copper are also at an 18% GST rate.
This comprehensive overview demonstrates that while specific HSN codes vary, the consistent GST rate for most copper and electrical cable products is 18%.
