HSN code 8525 covers: Transmission apparatus for radio-broadcasting or television, whether or not incorporating reception apparatus or sound recording or reproducing apparatus; television cameras, digital cameras and video camera recorders.

The GST rate for this code depends on the specific item (per CBIC Notification 9/2025-Central Tax (Rate), effective 22 Sep 2025). The official schedule lists:

• 5% — Two-way radio (Walkie talkie) used by defence, police and paramilitary forces etc.
• 18% — Closed-circuit television (CCTV), transmission apparatus for radio- broadcasting or television, whether or not incorporating reception apparatus or sound recording or reproducing apparatus; television cameras, digital cameras and video camera recorders [other than two-way radio (Walkie talkie) used by defense, police and paramilitary forces, etc.]

Pick the line that matches what you're billing.

Rates reflect the 22 Sep 2025 GST 2.0 reform (mainly 5% and 18%, with 3% for precious metals and 28%/40% for select sin and luxury goods). This is a reference drawn from the CBIC rate schedule, not tax advice — confirm the exact rate for your specific item with your CA.
