HSN Code 853641

Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, or for making connections to or in electrical circuits (for example, switches, relays, fuses, surge suppressors, plugs, sockets, lamp-holders and other connectors, junction boxes), for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 volts : connectors for optical fibres, optical fiber bundles or cables — for a voltage not exceeding 60 v

Reading code 853641

The first two digits (85) place this code in chapter 85 — Electrical Machinery and Electronics. Heading 8536 groups the product family, and the remaining digits pin down this specific 6-digit classification. 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.
