HSN code for LED lamps and bulbs

LED bulbs that fit into standard holders are usually classified under the heading for LED lamps. The same code can be used for various wattages and colour temperatures. It is important to mention wattage, base type and brand in your item description, even if the HSN code remains common.

HSN code for ceiling and panel lights

Ceiling and panel lights are supplied as fittings with integrated LED modules. These products typically use the heading for electric lamps and lighting fittings. Recording them separately from bulbs helps you track sales of fixtures versus lamps and simplifies warranty handling.

HSN code for decorative and outdoor lighting

Decorative and outdoor lights are also treated as lighting fittings but may use slightly different sub headings. Even if the GST rate is the same, correct classification matters for import duty, tender description and technical records.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about this topic.

Do LED bulbs and LED panel lights share the same HSN code?

Often they fall under related headings but not always the exact same sub code. You should check the detailed wording in the tariff.

Does use in commercial buildings change the HSN code for lights?

No. The place of use does not affect HSN classification. Only the product nature matters.

How should I classify LED strip lights?

Depending on design, LED strip lights can be treated as lighting fittings or as parts. Product catalogue and rulings should be checked before finalising.

Are spare drivers and LED modules classified with the light fitting?

Spare parts may use separate HSN codes for electronic components. They should be classified based on their own characteristics.
