Understanding the HSN Code for Bleaching Powder and Its GST
Bleaching powder, a common chemical compound with powerful disinfectant and bleaching properties, is widely used in various applications, from water purification and sanitation to textile processing. For businesses involved in the manufacturing, trading, or import/export of bleaching powder in India, understanding its correct Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code and the applicable Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate is crucial for compliance and smooth operations.
Understanding Bleaching Powder’s Place in the HSN Chemical Landscape
The HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) is a globally recognized system for classifying goods, serving as a critical framework for international trade and domestic taxation, including India’s GST. Bleaching powder, being an inorganic chemical compound, primarily falls under Chapter 28 of the HSN, which is dedicated to “Inorganic chemicals, organic or inorganic compounds of precious metals, of rare-earth metals, of radioactive elements or of isotopes.”
The HSN Codes for Bleaching Powder and Their GST Rates
The provided data clearly identifies bleaching powder under the category of hypochlorites:
- Commercial Calcium Hypochlorite (Bleaching Paste Or Powder):
- HSN Code: 28281010
- GST Rate: 18%
- Effective Date: July 1, 2017
- Sodium Hypochlorites: Bleaching Paste Or Powder:
- HSN Code: 28289011
- GST Rate: 18%
- Effective Date: July 1, 2017
- Bleaching Paste Or Powder Of Other Hypochlorites:
- HSN Code: 28289060
- GST Rate: 18%
- Effective Date: July 1, 2017
These entries consistently show that various forms of bleaching powder, whether calcium hypochlorite, sodium hypochlorite, or other hypochlorites, are classified under HSN 2828 and consistently attract an 18% GST rate.
It’s important to differentiate “bleaching powder” (the chemical compound) from other “powder” forms of products listed in the data, such as cocoa powder (18061000), gold powder (7108), dried vegetable powder (0712), or even certain plant powders (1211). Each of these has a distinct HSN code and GST rate because they belong to entirely different chemical or product categories.
