Sourcing lugs & glands into Machakos — what buyers ask
Specification, finish, documentation and terms, answered by the works in Howrah rather than a trading desk.
Cable lugs (copper/aluminium terminal connectors) typically export under HS 85369090 (other electrical apparatus for switching/connecting circuits) or 74199990 for some copper items; brass cable glands generally fall under HS 74199990 (other articles of copper/brass). Confirm the exact subheading for your specific product with your customs broker.
Cable lugs and glands fall under HSN 8536/7419 and attract 18% GST domestically. Exports are zero-rated under an LUT (no IGST) or shipped with IGST paid and refunded. An overseas buyer pays only their own country's import duty on the FOB/CIF price.
Crimp lugs are the modern standard: faster to install with the correct crimping tool, consistent electrical contact, and no risk of solder-joint fatigue from vibration or thermal cycling. Solder lugs still get specified on some legacy or very high-current specialist applications but are less common in new industrial installations. Confirm your site's installation tooling and standard practice before specifying solder.
Match the lug material to the cable conductor material: copper lugs for copper cable, aluminium lugs for aluminium cable. A mismatched bimetallic connection creates a galvanic corrosion risk at the joint over time. Where copper cable must terminate onto an aluminium busbar or vice versa, use a bimetallic (copper-aluminium) transition lug designed specifically for that junction, not a standard single-material lug.
We supply Ex-rated glands certified to IECEx and ATEX (Ex d, Ex e, Ex tb) for Zone 1/2/21/22 areas through our partnered Ex manufacturers. Vajra brand is for general industrial. For hazardous-area projects, share the area classification and we'll quote the certified range.
