Understand the Tube Light HSN Code: Your Guide to Taxation

Tube lights, whether traditional fluorescent tubes or modern LED linear lights, are fundamental to lighting homes, offices, and industrial spaces. For businesses involved in the manufacturing, import, or sale of these lighting fixtures, accurately identifying their Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code is essential for seamless Goods and Services Tax (GST) compliance.

Tube Light HSN Code and GST Rate

Tube lights, as lighting fittings, fall under HSN Chapter 94: 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 building.

More specifically, they are categorized under the heading for “Lamps and lighting fittings.”

Here’s the key HSN code and GST rate for tube lights:

  • For Lamps And Lighting Fittings Including Searchlights And Spotlights And Parts Thereof, Not Elsewhere Specified Or Included; Illuminated Signs, Illuminated Name-Plates And The Like, Having A Permanently Fixed Light Source, And Parts Thereof Not Elsewhere Specified Or Included:
    • HSN Heading: 9405
    • Specific HSN Code for Tube Lights (and similar lighting fittings): While “Tube Light” isn’t explicitly listed by name, it would typically fall under 94051020 (Lamps for lighting purposes of a kind used as electric lamps, other than those of heading 8539, which are filament or discharge lamps), or a more general sub-heading like 94054090 (Other electric lamps and lighting fittings). For LED tube lights, 94052100 (Designed For Use Solely With Light-Emitting Diode (Led) Light Sources) would also be highly relevant.
    • GST Rate: 18%
    • Effective Date: November 15, 2017 (originally July 1, 2017, for the broader category).

It’s important to distinguish tube lights from other HSN categories related to light or electricity found in the provided data:

  • Diodes, Transistors, Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs): HSN 8541 (18% GST). These are components of LED lights, not the complete tube light fixture.
  • Monitors and Projectors (Cathode-Ray Tube Monitors): HSN 8528 (28% GST, revised from 1/07/2017 to 27/07/2018). These are display devices, not lighting.
  • Electric Soldering, Brazing, Welding Machines: HSN 8515 (18% GST). These are industrial machines.
  • Pipes and fittings (Iron, Steel, Nickel, Tin, Zinc): HSN 7307, 7507, 8006, 7906 (ranging from 0% to 18% GST). These are materials or fittings, not lighting fixtures.
  • Light Naptha: HSN 27101221 (18% GST). This is a fuel, completely unrelated to lighting.

FAQs

What does HSN mean for tube lights?

HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) is an international system for classifying products, including tube lights, for customs and taxation.

Why is knowing the tube light HSN code important?

It is crucial for accurate GST calculation, correct invoicing, and ensuring compliance for businesses dealing with tube lights.

What HSN Chapter do tube lights belong to?

Tube lights are classified under HSN Chapter 94, specifically “Lamps and lighting fittings.”

When did the current GST rate for tube lights become effective?

The 18% GST rate for lamps and lighting fittings became effective from November 15, 2017.

Do LED components (like individual LEDs or LED drivers) have the same HSN code as a complete tube light?

While both fall under HSN 9405, LED tube lights may have more specific sub-headings like 94052100 if designed solely for LED light sources.
