About HSN Code 8541

HSN code 8541 is a 4-digit Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code used in India for GST classification. It covers: 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.

This code falls under Chapter 85 (Electrical Equipment) of the Indian GST tariff. The applicable GST rate is 18% (CGST 9% + SGST 9% for intra-state, or IGST 18% for inter-state transactions).

Who needs this code? Any GST-registered business supplying goods classified under this HSN code must quote it on their tax invoices. Turnover above ₹5 crore requires 6-digit codes; exporters must use 8-digit HSN codes.
