Flood lights are powerful artificial lights used to illuminate large areas, from sports stadiums and building facades to construction sites and parking lots. For businesses involved in the manufacturing, trading, or import/export of these essential lighting fixtures in India, understanding their Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code and the applicable Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate is crucial for compliance and smooth operations. Let’s cast a light on the HSN codes for flood lights and their GST implications.
The HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) is a globally recognized system for classifying goods, serving as a critical framework for international trade and domestic taxation, including India’s GST. Flood lights, as lighting fittings, primarily fall under Chapter 94 of the HSN. This chapter is dedicated to “Furniture; bedding, mattresses, mattress supports, cushions and similar stuffed furnishing; lamps and lighting fittings, not elsewhere specified or included; illuminated signs, illuminated name-plates and the like; prefabricated buildings.”
The data provided explicitly addresses “Lamps And Lighting Fittings Including Searchlights And Spotlights And Parts Thereof, Not Elsewhere Specified Or Included,” which directly encompasses flood lights.
Here are the relevant HSN codes and GST rates for flood lights, based on the provided data:
This grouping clearly indicates that various types of “Lamps And Lighting Fittings Including Searchlights And Spotlights,” which is the functional definition of a flood light, are categorized under HSN 9405. The consistent 18% GST rate for these lighting fixtures simplifies tax calculations.
It is important to differentiate flood lights (the complete lighting fixture) from their individual components like Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) or LED lamps:
The distinction is crucial: if you are selling the complete flood light fixture, HSN 9405 applies. If you are selling just the LED lamp or the raw LED components, then the relevant HSN codes under Chapter 85 apply.
Flood lights primarily fall under HSN Chapter 94.
The general GST rate for complete flood light fixtures is 18%.
LED lamps (the light source itself) are classified under HSN 85395000.
HSN 9405 covers “Lamps And Lighting Fittings” generally, so it applies to flood lights regardless of their light source (LED, halogen, etc.), unless a more specific HSN exists for a particular light source type of fixture.
The 12% rate applies to the LED lamp (the bulb/light source), while the 18% rate applies to the complete fixture (the flood light apparatus itself), which is a “lighting fitting.”
