India supplies only a small slice of a world market that runs into billions, so the room to grow is real. diipl shows Indian makers exactly where their product fits and generates the verified buyers to capture it, and gives buyers a verified, meeting-ready Indian supplier, matched to their requirement.
HSN code and HS code for control panels
The HSN code for control panels is 853710 — boards, panels, consoles, desks and other bases; for electric control or the distribution of electricity, (other than switching apparatus of heading no. 8517), for a voltage not exceeding 1000 volts. That is the 6-digit subheading, which is the same in every country that uses the Harmonized System.
In India the GST HSN code and the export ITC-HS code are the same nomenclature, so this line is the one your GST invoice and your shipping bill share. The classification is shown here; the applicable GST rate is not.

A classification is a fact any lookup can give you. HS 853710 sits in chapter 85 (electrical & electronics), next to 1 neighbouring subheading under heading 8537 that differ by material, construction or specification. Getting that choice right changes the duty your buyer pays. But the correct code still does not tell you which countries are buying control panels right now, what duty each of them charges on the Indian line, or whether that demand has grown or faded. Those answers come from trade data, not from a code table, and they are what decides whether a market is worth entering at all. diipl's free Market Research Report answers them for your specific product.
The 6-digit line is international. India requires the 8-digit ITC-HS for both import and export. Look up every 8-digit line under 853710 free, with whether India actually exported on it, in the HS code finder. What a code table cannot tell you is where the product sells.

Frequently asked questions
What is the HS code for control panels?
The HS code for control panels is 853710 — boards, panels, consoles, desks and other bases; for electric control or the distribution of electricity, (other than switching apparatus of heading no. 8517), for a voltage not exceeding 1000 volts. That is the 6-digit subheading, which is identical in every country using the Harmonized System. India files an 8-digit ITC-HS line on the shipping bill. You can look up every 8-digit line under 853710 free, and whether India actually exported on it, in the diipl HS code finder.
What is the difference between the 6-digit HS code and the 8-digit ITC-HS code?
The first 6 digits are the international Harmonized System subheading, the same in every member country. India extends it to 8 digits as the ITC-HS line, and that is what appears on your shipping bill. The 8-digit line decides the duty your buyer pays, whether an FTA preferential rate and certificate of origin apply, your RoDTEP or drawback rate, and whether an export licence is required. Indian ITC-HS lines are re-notified periodically, so a code that was correct last year may no longer be active.
