3926 hsn code for cable ties

Cable tie gst rate before and after
Cable ties were 18% before 22 September and stayed at 18%. Plastic articles generally did not move in the reform. A contractor buying ties, conduit and cable for a job will see 18% on almost every line. Distributors selling in packs of 100 should show the quantity in packets or pieces consistently between the invoice and the e-way bill.

Electrical dealer to a contractor: Nylon cable ties 200 mm, HSN 3926 90, 50 packets, Rs 3,500. Cable glands, HSN 8536 90, 100 pieces, Rs 4,000. Taxable value Rs 7,500. CGST 9% Rs 675. SGST 9% Rs 675. Total Rs 8,850.
Cable ties with other electrical goods
Electricians buy ties along with cables, conduits and lugs. All are 18%, so the tax is simple, but each item should carry its own code. Cable is on the wires and cables page, and switchgear on the MCB page.
Cable tie hsn code for solar and telecom projects
Solar plants, telecom towers and data centres use cable ties in large numbers. UV stabilised nylon ties and stainless steel ties are bought by contractors who supply works contracts at 18% and claim credit. In solar projects billed under the 70:30 rule, ties bought as inputs carry their own 18% GST, while the project bill is split between goods at 5% and services at 18%. See solar panels.
Cable tie gst rate for manufacturers
Cable tie makers buy nylon granules (3908) at 18% and sell ties at 18%. Moulds and machines carry 18% too, and credit flows normally. Exporters of ties can supply without tax under a letter of undertaking or claim refunds.
Electrical suppliers should use this cable tie summary as background. Material decides the line, so check the GST portal entry and ask a GST practitioner or chartered accountant about specialised fasteners.
