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 cables
Cables is classified under HS heading 8544 (insulated (including enamelled or anodised) wire, cable (including co-axial cable) and other insulated electric conductors, whether or not fitted with connectors; optical fibre cables, made up of individually sheathed fibres, whether or not assembled with electric conductors or fitted with connectors). The exact 6-digit subheading depends on the material, construction and specification of what you make, and the 8-digit ITC-HS line is what India actually files.
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.

Subheadings under HS 8544
Which one applies depends on your exact specification. Picking the wrong line changes the duty your buyer pays and the incentive you can claim.
- 854411 — Insulated electric conductors; winding wire, of copper
- 854419 — Insulated electric conductors; winding wire, (of other than copper)
- 854420 — Insulated electric conductors; co-axial cable and other co-axial electric conductors
- 854430 — Insulated electric conductors; ignition wiring sets and other wiring sets of a kind used in vehicles, aircraft or ships
- 854442 — Insulated electric conductors; for a voltage not exceeding 1000 volts, fitted with connectors
- 854449 — Insulated electric conductors; for a voltage not exceeding 1000 volts, not fitted with connectors
- 854460 — Insulated electric conductors; for a voltage exceeding 1000 volts
- 854470 — Insulated electric conductors; optical fibre cables
A classification is a fact any lookup can give you. Heading 8544 sits in chapter 85 (electrical & electronics), and the subheading that actually applies to your cables depends on material, construction and specification. Getting that choice right changes the duty your buyer pays. But the correct code still does not tell you which countries are buying cables 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 8544 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 cables?
Cables is classified under HS heading 8544 (insulated (including enamelled or anodised) wire, cable (including co-axial cable) and other insulated electric conductors, whether or not fitted with connectors; optical fibre cables, made up of individually sheathed fibres, whether or not assembled with electric conductors or fitted with connectors). The exact 6-digit subheading depends on the material, construction and specification, and India files an 8-digit ITC-HS line on the shipping bill. You can look up every 8-digit line 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.
