Understanding of Bench Vice HSN Codes

For workshops, manufacturing units, and DIY enthusiasts, the bench vice is an indispensable tool. If you’re involved in the trade of these robust work-holding devices, understanding their HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code is essential for smooth GST (Goods and Services Tax) compliance. The provided data offers clear guidance on classifying bench vices.

Bench vices are categorized under Chapter 82: Tools, implements, cutlery, spoons and forks, of base metal; parts thereof of base metal. More specifically, they fall within the heading “Hand Tools (Including Glaziers Diamonds), Not Elsewhere Specified Or Included; Blow Lamps; Vices; Clamps And The Like, Other Than Accessories For And Parts Of, Machine Tools; Anvils; Portable Forges; Hand- Or Pedal- Operated Grinding Wheels With Framework.”

The HSN code most directly applicable to bench vices from the data is 82057000, which explicitly mentions “Vices; Clamps And The Like.” All the related HSN codes provided, such as 82055910, 82054000, and others starting with 8205, consistently show an 18% GST rate. This means that bench vices, as hand tools, are generally subject to an 18% GST in India, simplifying the tax process for businesses dealing with these items.
