In our increasingly connected world, HDMI converters play a crucial role in adapting video and audio signals between different devices. Whether you’re connecting an older projector to a modern laptop or an analog device to an HDMI-enabled screen, these handy gadgets make interoperability possible. For businesses and individuals involved in the trade of these electronic components, knowing the correct Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code and associated Goods and Services Tax (GST) is essential for smooth transactions.
HDMI converters, which perform a specific electrical function of altering a signal from one format to another (like converting a digital HDMI signal to an analog VGA signal, or vice-versa), are generally classified under HSN Code 8543. This broad category covers “Electrical machines and apparatus having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this Chapter.”
More precisely, most common HDMI converters often fall under HSN 85437099. This specific code typically covers “Other machines and apparatus” within the “Electrical machines and apparatus having individual functions” heading. It differentiates these signal converters from power converters (like rectifiers or inverters under HSN 8504, which convert AC to DC or vice versa, often at higher power levels) or industrial machinery converters. Sometimes, depending on their primary function and design, they might also be classified as parts or accessories of related apparatus (e.g., under HSN 8529 for television apparatus parts, or 8473 if primarily a computer accessory).
For HDMI converters and similar electronic accessories, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate in India is generally 18%. This rate applies to most electrical apparatus having individual functions, including signal converters. The 18% GST rate for such electronic goods has been in effect since July 1, 2017, with subsequent revisions for specific items over time.
Accurate HSN classification and GST application are crucial for manufacturers, importers, distributors, and retailers of HDMI converters. It ensures regulatory compliance, transparent pricing, and efficient trade flows in the electronic accessories market. So, the next time you’re connecting your devices with an HDMI converter, you’ll know the electrical heart of its HSN classification and tax implications.
The most common HSN code for a typical HDMI converter is 85437099.
HDMI converters belong to Chapter 85: “Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles.”
The GST rate for HDMI converters is generally 18%.
Yes, depending on its specific function or if it’s considered primarily a part or accessory for a particular device (e.g., a computer or television), it might sometimes be classified under related HSN subheadings like those in 8529 or 8473.
