How Bluetooth and wireless speakers are classified under HSN?
Wireless and Bluetooth features do not change the HSN heading. They are still loudspeakers that can be connected by radio or other link. The invoice should mention them as Bluetooth speaker or wireless speaker, but the code remains 8518.
GST implications on speaker products
Speakers and audio systems usually attract 18 percent GST. Sellers should:
- Use HSN 8518 on invoice
- Separate value of speakers from other devices if sold together
- Charge GST correctly and provide input tax credit to buyers
