Understand The Glow Sign HSN Code
Glow signs, illuminated signs, and LED signboards are essential tools for businesses to attract customers and enhance their brand visibility. For manufacturers, suppliers, and buyers of these products, knowing the correct HSN code and GST rate is crucial for seamless business operations and tax compliance.
Find the HSN Code for Glow Signs
The Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code for glow signs falls under Chapter 94, which covers “Lamps and lighting fittings… illuminated signs, illuminated name-plates and the like.”
The most appropriate HSN code for a glow sign is 94056090. The description for this code is “Illuminated signs, illuminated name-plates and the like, of other materials.” This is a broad category that covers a wide range of glow signs made from various materials like acrylic, metal, or plastic, as long as they have a permanently fixed light source.
The provided data also mentions a more general HSN code 940560 for “Illuminated Signs, Illuminated Name-Plates And The Like,” which is the 6-digit heading under which the more specific 8-digit code falls.
Understand the Applicable GST Rate
The GST rate for glow signs classified under HSN code 940560 is 12%. This rate has been in effect since November 15, 2017, and also since July 1, 2017, depending on the specific product classification. There is no CESS applicable.
It is important to note that the data you provided also shows a 28% GST rate for some products under HSN 8511 and 9405. However, this is likely for different types of goods, such as ignitions and specific lamps. The most recent and relevant information for illuminated signs and glow signs points to a rate of 12% or 18% depending on the specific item. The data you provided shows an 18% rate for some lighting fittings. In practice, the 12% rate for illuminated signs is commonly applied.
Avoid HSN Code Confusion
The term “glow” and “sign” appear in many different HSN chapters, but they refer to completely different products. Be careful not to confuse your glow sign with:
- Glow Plugs: HSN 8511 is for “Electrical Ignition or Starting Equipment” for internal combustion engines, which includes glow plugs. This is completely unrelated to signage.
- Sign-Plates: HSN 8310 is for “Sign-Plates, Name-Plates… of Base Metal, Excluding Those of Heading 9405.” The key here is the exclusion. If your sign is illuminated, it belongs in Chapter 94, not 83.
- Signalling Equipment: HSN 8530 and 8531 are for signaling equipment used in traffic control or alarms, not for advertising or informational signs.
By accurately classifying your glow sign as an “illuminated sign” under Chapter 94, you ensure that you apply the correct GST rate and stay compliant with tax regulations.
