Portable electric lamps designed to function by their own source of energy (for example, dry batteries, accumulators, magnetos)
Under the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN), the code 8513 specifically identifies portable electric lamps designed to function by their own source of energy (for example, dry batteries, accumulators, magnetos) for the purpose of taxation and trade in Bharat. This ensures uniform classification across all Indian states and Union Territories.
"Classifying portable electric lamps designed to function by their own source of energy (for example, dry batteries, accumulators, magnetos) correctly is critical to avoid litigation. While the base rate is 18%, always check for anti-dumping duties if importing, especially under the Electronics category. AasanKhata automatically monitors these shifts for you."
