Sourcing this category from India
HS 8511.10 covers Ignition or starting equipment; spark plugs, of a kind used for spark or compression-ignition internal combustion engines. It is a leaf classification, so it sets the duty line directly for goods that fall under it. Electrical machinery is a fast-growing Indian export — transformers, motors, cables, batteries and electronics. India exported $40.7M under this code worldwide in 2024, about 0.1% of all Chapter 85 exports, ranking #4 of 7 lines in its heading (UN Comtrade).
How to read this code
8511.10 is the six-digit HS subheading for ignition or starting equipment. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many machinery & electrical equipment lines — check our import guides for your market.
In India this same number is called the HSN code (851110): GST registration, invoices and e-way bills all classify goods by HSN, and the applicable GST rate is notified against the 4–8 digit HSN — so Indian suppliers will quote you HSN 851110 for goods under this heading.
