Reading code 8505

The first two digits (85) place this code in chapter 85 — Electrical Machinery and Electronics. As a 4-digit heading it groups a whole product family; 6 and 8-digit codes underneath it get more specific. Remember: you can never invent a shorter code by truncating a longer one — only codes that exist in the official tariff are valid.

Motors, transformers, batteries, mobile phones (8517), TVs, cables, switches, and LEDs — the electronics trade's home chapter.

Frequently asked questions

The GST rate under 8505 depends on the specific item and applicable notifications. Check the classification with our HSN code finder and confirm the rate before invoicing.
Businesses with annual aggregate turnover of ₹5 crore or more must report at least 6 digits on e-invoices and e-way bills; below ₹5 crore, 4 digits is the B2B minimum. Exports require 8 digits.
Every line item on a GST tax invoice carries its HSN code alongside the description, quantity, taxable value, and tax breakup. The code also flows into your GSTR-1 HSN summary and e-way bills.
