Dell Mouse HSN Code

Understanding the HSN Code for Dell Mouse and Its GST

A computer mouse, whether from Dell or any other brand, is an indispensable input device for interacting with computers. For businesses involved in the sale, distribution, or import of computer mice in India, understanding the correct Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code and the associated Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate is essential for accurate record-keeping and tax compliance. This blog post will guide you through the HSN code for a Dell mouse and its GST implications.

Navigating the HSN for Computer Peripherals

The HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) is a globally accepted system for classifying products, which helps standardize customs duties and taxes worldwide. In India, for GST purposes, goods are classified under specific HSN codes. Computer peripherals like mice fall under Chapter 84 of the HSN, which covers “Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof.”

The HSN Code for a Computer Mouse

Based on the provided data, and in line with broader HSN classifications for computer peripherals, a Dell mouse, or any computer mouse, is specifically categorized under:

• Automatic Data Processing Machines And Units Thereof; Magnetic Or Optical Readers, Machines For Transcribing Data On To Data Media In Coded Form And Machines For Processing Such Data, Not Elsewhere Specified Or Included – Input Or Output Units, Whether Or Not Containing Storage Units In The Same Housing: Mouse
  • HSN Code: 84716060
  • GST Rate: 18%
  • Effective Date: July 1, 2017

This specific HSN code clearly identifies a computer mouse as an “Input or Output Unit” for Automatic Data Processing (ADP) Machines, placing it squarely within the correct classification for GST purposes. While the provided data also shows other HSN codes, these relate to completely different products (like vegetable saps or other plastic articles), highlighting the importance of identifying the correct category for computer peripherals.
