Understanding the Solenoid Coil HSN Code

Solenoid coils, those unassuming yet powerful components, are the heart of many electrical and mechanical systems. They convert electrical energy into linear motion or a magnetic field, making them indispensable in everything from valves and relays to automotive ignition systems. For businesses involved in manufacturing, importing, or trading these coils, correctly identifying their Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code is crucial for accurate GST compliance.

The HSN classification for a solenoid coil isn’t always straightforward, as its specific code often depends on its primary function or the apparatus it is a part of. While a “solenoid coil” isn’t a standalone HSN heading, it’s typically found embedded within categories of the larger systems it actuates.

The most common classifications for solenoid coils fall under Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof and Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof.

Here are the key considerations:

Solenoid Coils as Part of Solenoid Valves: This is one of the most frequent applications. When a solenoid coil is clearly identifiable as a component of a solenoid valve, it is usually classified along with the valve itself or as a part thereof.
- HSN 84818050 specifically covers “Expansion Valves And Solenoid Valves For Refrigerating And Air Cond[itioning appliances].”
- For the parts of such valves, including the coils, HSN 84819090 (“Parts: Other”) is often used. These typically attract an 18% GST rate.
Solenoid Coils for Ignition Systems: If the solenoid coil functions as an “ignition coil” in internal combustion engines, it falls under Chapter 85: “Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof.”
- HSN 85113020 specifically designates “Ignition coils” as part of electrical ignition or starting equipment for internal combustion engines. These often carry a 28% GST rate due to their automotive application.
Solenoid Coils as Electromagnets or for Electromagnetic Devices: When the solenoid coil acts as an electromagnet or is a part of electromagnetic lifting heads, chucks, or similar holding devices, it may fall under:
- HSN 85059000: “Electromagnets; permanent magnets and articles intended to become permanent magnets after magnetization; electromagnetic or permanent magnet chucks, clamps and similar holding devices; electromagnetic couplings, clutches and brakes; electromagnetic lifting heads; parts thereof.” These generally attract an 18% GST rate.
Solenoid Coils as “Other Electrical Parts”: If a solenoid coil doesn’t fit into the above specific categories and is a general electrical part of machinery not elsewhere specified, it could fall under broader “electrical parts of machinery or apparatus, not specified or included elsewhere.” While not explicitly listed in the provided data, HSN 85480000 (“ELECTRICAL PARTS OF MACHINERY OR APPARATUS, NOT SPECIFIED OR INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS CHAPTER”) carries an 18% GST.

Therefore, pinpointing the precise HSN code for a solenoid coil requires understanding its role and the apparatus it is integrated into.

FAQs

What is a solenoid coil?

A solenoid coil is an electrical device that generates a magnetic field or linear motion when an electric current passes through it, commonly used as an actuator.

Which HSN Chapters most commonly cover solenoid coils?

Solenoid coils are most commonly found in Chapter 84 (Machinery) and Chapter 85 (Electrical Machinery and Equipment).

What HSN code is used for an ignition coil in a vehicle?

Ignition coils for internal combustion engines are specifically classified under HSN 85113020.

Why is it important to know the application of the solenoid coil for HSN classification?

The application or the complete apparatus the solenoid coil is part of significantly influences its HSN classification and, consequently, the applicable GST rate.

Can a solenoid coil be classified as a general electromagnet?

Yes, if it functions purely as an electromagnet, it could fall under HSN 85059000 (“Electromagnets… parts thereof”).
