HSN Code 8541

Semiconductor devices (for example, diodes, transistors, semiconductor-based transducers), photosensitive semiconductor, devices, including photovoltaic cells whether or not assembled in modules or made up into panels, light-emitting diodes (LED), whether or not assembled with other light-emitting diodes (LED), mounted piezo-electric crystals

Reading code 8541

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 8541 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.
