The term “block” is used in various contexts across different industries, from construction and mining to printing and chemicals. Consequently, there isn’t one single HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code for “block.” Instead, the HSN classification for a “block” depends entirely on its material, composition, and intended use. For businesses dealing with these diverse products in India, precise HSN determination is critical for accurate Goods and Services Tax (GST) compliance.
The data also includes HSN codes related to “Tin Waste And Scrap” (80020010) and “Hat-Shapes” (6502). These are completely unrelated to the various types of “blocks” discussed above and should be ignored for classification.
HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) is a global classification system used to categorize various types of “blocks” based on their material and nature, for taxation and customs.
It’s crucial for accurate GST calculation, correct invoicing, and ensuring proper compliance with tax regulations, especially due to the term’s broad usage.
Natural stone blocks primarily fall under HSN Chapter 25 (Mineral Products).
Glass paving blocks and similar articles used in construction typically have an 18% GST rate.
Concrete building blocks generally attract an 18% GST rate.
