Understanding Bathroom Fittings HSN Codes for Your Business

Bathroom fittings encompass a wide array of products, from faucets and showerheads to sanitary ware and accessories. Navigating the HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) codes for these items can be complex, as classifications often depend on the material, primary function, and specific design of each fitting. For businesses involved in the manufacturing, trade, or installation of bathroom fittings in India, a clear understanding of these codes is essential for accurate GST (Goods and Services Tax) compliance.

Based on the provided data and additional common classifications, bathroom fittings can fall under several HSN chapters:

1. Taps, Cocks, Valves, and Faucets (Chapter 84)

Many core bathroom fittings, particularly those controlling water flow, are classified under Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof.

  • HSN Heading 8481: Taps, cocks, valves and similar appliances for pipes, boiler shells, tanks, vats or the like, including pressure-reducing valves and thermostatically controlled valves.
    • 84818020: This HSN code is frequently used for taps, cocks, and similar appliances of non-ferrous metal, which includes most bathroom faucets (mixer taps, basin faucets, etc.) and shower heads made of brass or other non-ferrous metals.
    • 84818090: This serves as a general “other” category for valves and similar appliances.
    • The GST rate for items under HSN 8481 is 18%, generally effective from July 1, 2017.

2. Sanitary Ware (Chapters 39, 69, 73, 74)

Sanitary ware refers to fixtures like bathtubs, sinks, washbasins, toilets, and cisterns. Their HSN classification heavily depends on the material:

  • Chapter 39: Plastics and articles thereof
    • 3922: This heading covers “Baths, shower-baths, sinks, wash-basins, bidets, lavatory pans, seats and covers, flushing cisterns and similar sanitary ware, of plastics.”
      • 39222000: Specifically for Lavatory seats and covers of plastics.
      • 39221000: For plastic baths, shower-baths, sinks, and washbasins.
      • The GST rate for plastic sanitary ware under HSN 3922 is 18%, effective from July 1, 2017.
  • Chapter 73: Articles of iron or steel
    • 7324: Sanitary ware, and parts thereof, of iron or steel.
      • 73241000: For stainless steel sinks and washbasins.
      • 73242900: For other baths of iron or steel (e.g., steel sheet baths).
      • 73249000: For other sanitary ware of iron or steel, including parts.
      • The GST rate for iron or steel sanitary ware under HSN 7324 is 18%, generally effective from July 1, 2017.
  • Chapter 74: Copper and articles thereof
    • 74182010: For sanitary ware of copper.
    • 74182020: For parts of sanitary ware of copper.
    • The GST rate for copper sanitary ware under HSN 7418 is 18%, effective from July 1, 2017.
  • Chapter 69: Ceramic products (Though not explicitly in the provided data for bathroom fittings, ceramic sanitary ware like ceramic toilets, basins, and urinals commonly falls under this chapter, e.g., 6910 with 18% GST).

3. General Bathroom Accessories (Chapter 83, 73, 74, 39)

Items like towel rails, soap dishes, and robe hooks often fall under various chapters based on their material and primary function:

  • Chapter 83: Miscellaneous articles of base metal
    • 8302: Base metal mountings, fittings and similar articles suitable for furniture, doors, staircases, windows, blinds, coachwork…
      • 83021090: This broader code can cover various base metal fittings, including some general bathroom accessories (e.g., brackets, hooks). The GST rate is 18%, effective from November 15, 2017.
  • Flexible tubing of base metal with or without fittings (83071000): This covers items like flexible hoses used in bathrooms. 18% GST.
  • Other fittings might fall under their material-specific chapters, such as plastic fittings (Chapter 39, e.g., 3917 for tubes and their fittings) or iron/steel fittings (Chapter 73, e.g., 7307 for tube or pipe fittings).

Given the diversity of “bathroom fittings,” businesses must meticulously identify the specific item, its material, and its primary function to arrive at the correct HSN code. When in doubt, consulting official HSN classification guides or a tax expert is always advisable.
