Semiconductor devices (e.g. diodes, transistors, semiconductor based transducers); including photovoltaic cells assembled or not in modules or panels, light-emitting diodes (LED) assembled with other LEDs or not, mounted piezo-electric crystals
HS heading 85.41 covers Semiconductor devices (e.g. diodes, transistors, semiconductor based transducers); including photovoltaic cells assembled or not in modules or panels, light-emitting diodes (LED) assembled with other LEDs or not, mounted piezo-electric crystals. Within Chapter 85 it splits into 12 six-digit subheadings, each carrying its own customs duty line.

Sourcing this category from India
HS 85.41 covers Semiconductor devices (e.g. diodes, transistors, semiconductor based transducers); including photovoltaic cells assembled or not in modules or panels, light-emitting diodes (LED) assembled with other LEDs or not, mounted piezo-electric crystals. At the six-digit line it separates electrical apparatus and crystals, among others — each a distinct duty line shown below. Electrical machinery is a fast-growing Indian export — transformers, motors, cables, batteries and electronics. India exported $1.76B under this code worldwide in 2024, about 4.5% of all Chapter 85 exports, ranking #4 of 48 lines in its chapter (UN Comtrade).
How to read this code
85.41 is the four-digit HS heading for semiconductor devices (e.g. diodes, transistors, s. 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.
