Understanding the Copper Winding Wire HSN Code
Copper winding wire, the unsung hero in countless electrical applications from motors and transformers to generators, plays a crucial role in our modern world. For businesses dealing with this essential component, understanding its HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code and associated GST (Goods and Services Tax) rate is fundamental for smooth operations and compliance.
The provided data specifically focuses on “Copper Wire” under Chapter 74: Copper and articles thereof. While “winding wire” isn’t explicitly listed as a standalone category within the snippets provided, the nature of winding wire as a form of copper wire is clear.
Here’s how copper winding wire is generally classified:
The Raw Material: Copper Wire (HSN 7408) 🧵
The core of winding wire is, of course, copper wire. The data confirms that HSN 7408 covers “Copper Wire” broadly. This chapter includes various types of copper wire, regardless of their cross-sectional dimension or alloy.
Within HSN 7408, you’ll find various sub-headings such as:
- 74081110: Copper Weld Wire (of refined copper, maximum cross-sectional dimension exceeds 6 mm)
- 74081190: Other (of refined copper, maximum cross-sectional dimension exceeds 6 mm)
- 74081990: Other (of refined copper, other dimensions)
- 74082210: Silver Plated Flattened Wire Of Copper (Lametta) (of copper alloys, copper-nickel base alloys or copper-nickel-zinc base alloys)
- 74082220: Other Of Which The Maximum Cross-Sectional Dimension Exceeds 6 Mm (of copper alloys, copper-nickel base alloys or copper-nickel-zinc base alloys)
- 74082990: Other (of copper alloys, other)
For all these variations of copper wire under HSN 7408, the GST rate is consistently 18%, effective from July 1, 2017.
The Key Distinction: Insulated Winding Wire (HSN 8544) ⚡
While the provided data focuses on raw copper wire, it’s crucial to note that “winding wire” is typically insulated (e.g., enameled, coated with lacquer or other materials) to prevent short circuits when wound into coils.
For insulated copper winding wire, the HSN classification shifts to Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof. Specifically, it falls under:
- HSN 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.”
- More precisely, for copper winding wire, common sub-headings include:
- 85441110: Winding wire: Of copper: Enamelled
- 85441190: Winding wire: Of copper: Other (for insulated copper winding wire that isn’t enamelled)
The GST rate for insulated copper winding wire under HSN 8544 is also 18%, generally effective from July 1, 2017.
Why the Distinction Matters 🤔
The classification depends on whether you are dealing with bare copper wire (HSN 7408) or insulated copper winding wire (HSN 8544). Both have an 18% GST rate, but using the correct HSN code is essential for accurate documentation, import/export procedures, and overall GST compliance. Always ensure you classify your specific copper winding wire product correctly based on its characteristics, particularly the presence and type of insulation.
