Sourcing this category from India
HS 8540.81 covers Valves and tubes; receiver or amplifier. 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.
How to read this code
8540.81 is the six-digit HS subheading. Your destination country extends it to 8–10 digits and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty for many goods — check our import guides for your market.
