Understanding the HSN Code for Bolts and Nuts in India

Bolts and nuts are fundamental components in countless industries, from construction and manufacturing to automotive and machinery. For businesses dealing with these essential fasteners in India, accurately identifying their HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code is crucial for seamless GST (Goods and Services Tax) compliance. The good news is, your provided data clearly points to the specific classification for these items, predominantly based on their material.

The Definitive HSN for Bolts and Nuts

The primary and most relevant HSN code for bolts and nuts, when referred to as standalone fasteners, falls under Chapter 73: Articles of iron or steel. This chapter is dedicated to products made from iron or steel.

  • HSN Code 7318: This crucial heading specifically covers “Screws, Bolts, Nuts, Coach-Screws, Screw Hooks, Rivets, Cotters, Cotter-Pins, Washers (Including Spring Washers) And Similar Articles, Of Iron Or Steel.”
    • While the provided data does not list a direct sub-heading for ‘Bolts’ or ‘Nuts’ specifically, the presence of 73182200 for “Non-Threaded Articles : Other Washers” under this main heading strongly indicates that bolts and nuts, being threaded articles, also fall under HSN 7318.
    • GST Rate: Articles under HSN 7318, including bolts, nuts, and washers, typically attract an 18% GST rate. This rate became effective on July 1, 2017.

Therefore, for your standard iron or steel bolts and nuts, HSN 7318 is the correct and definitive classification.

Distinguishing from Other “Bolt” and “Nut” References

Your provided data also contains other entries that use the terms “bolt” or “nut,” but these refer to different products or preparations:

Bolt or Nut Release Preparations

These items fall under Chapter 34: Soap, organic surface-active agents, washing preparations, lubricating preparations, artificial waxes, prepared waxes, polishing or scouring preparations, candles and similar articles, modelling pastes, dental waxes and dental preparations with a basis of plaster.

  • HSN Code 3403: This heading covers “Lubricating Preparations (Including Cutting-Oil Preparations, Bolt Or Nut Release Preparations, Anti-Rust Or Anti-Corrosion Preparations And Mould Release Preparations, Based On Lubricants) And Preparations Of A Kind Used For The Oil Or Grease Treatment Of…”
    • Sub-headings like 34039900, 34031100, 34039100, 34031900, and the general 3403 itself are listed.
    • These are chemical preparations designed to release bolts or nuts, not the fasteners themselves. They have an 18% GST rate, effective from November 15, 2017.

“Nut” as a Food Item

Several entries refer to “nut” as a food ingredient:

  • Chapter 23: Residues and waste from the food industries; prepared animal fodder:
    • HSN Code 23050020, 23050090: These refer to “Oil-Cake And Other Solid Residues… Resulting From The Extraction Of Ground-Nut Oil.” These are agricultural by-products with a 5% GST rate, effective July 1, 2017.
  • Chapter 15: Animal or vegetable fats and oils:
    • HSN Code 1508, 15089099: These cover “Ground-Nut Oil And Its Fractions,” with a 5% GST rate, effective July 1, 2017.
  • Chapter 20: Preparations of vegetables, fruit, nuts or other parts of plants:
    • HSN Code 20079910: “Jams, Fruit Jellies, Marmalades, Fruit Or Nut Puree And Fruit Or Nut Pastes… Mango” with a 12% GST rate, effective July 1, 2017.
  • Chapter 21: Miscellaneous edible preparations:
    • HSN Code 21069030: “Food Preparations Not Elsewhere Specified Or Included – Other : Betel Nut Product Known As Supari” with an 18% GST rate, effective July 1, 2017 (with revisions).

These “nut” related entries clearly pertain to food products and are not to be confused with mechanical fasteners.

“Bolt Croppers” as a Tool

  • Chapter 82: Tools, implements, cutlery, spoons and forks, of base metal; parts thereof of base metal:
    • HSN Code 82032000: “Files, Rasps, Pliers (Including Cutting Pliers), Pincers, Tweezers, Metal Cutting Shears, Pipe- Cutters, Bolt Croppers, Perforating Punches And Similar Hand Tools – Pliers (Including Cutting Pliers), Pincers, Tweezers And Similar Tools.”
    • A “Bolt Cropper” is a hand tool for cutting bolts, not the bolt itself. It has an 18% GST rate, effective July 1, 2017.
