Understanding the C-Clamp HSN Code
The C-clamp, a ubiquitous tool found in workshops, construction sites, and manufacturing units, is essential for securely holding workpieces in place. While its function is straightforward, correctly identifying its HSN (Harmonised System of Nomenclature) code for GST (Goods and Services Tax) purposes in India requires a precise understanding of its nature. Based on the provided data and broader HSN guidelines, C-clamps primarily fall under the category of hand tools.
The C-Clamp HSN Code
The most appropriate HSN code for a standard C-clamp, which functions as a hand tool, is:
- 82057000: This HSN falls under Chapter 82: Tools, implements, cutlery, spoons and forks, of base metal; parts thereof. The specific description for 8205 is: “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 or water-jet cutting machines; anvils; portable forges; hand-or pedal-operated grinding wheels with frameworks.”
- The subheading 82057000 explicitly covers “Vices, clamps and the like.” This classification perfectly fits the description and function of a C-clamp.
- The GST rate for items under HSN 82057000 is typically 18%, effective from July 1, 2017.
Why HSN 82057000 is the Right Fit
C-clamps are designed as standalone hand tools for general clamping purposes. They are not typically considered parts of larger machinery (which would fall under different chapters) nor are they specialized medical or automotive components in their primary function. Their classification as “vices, clamps and the like” within the hand tools chapter aligns with their widespread use in various trades and DIY projects.
Other “Clamp” Related HSNs (Generally Not for Standard C-Clamps)
The provided data contains many HSN codes related to different types of “clamps” or items with “clamp” in their description, but these are distinct from a general-purpose C-clamp:
- Automotive-related HSNs (Chapter 87: Vehicles and parts thereof): The data lists numerous HSNs for “Motor Cars And Other Motor Vehicles” (e.g., 87032310, 870360, 870370, 87032210, 87032491). These codes are for entire vehicles or major vehicle components and are irrelevant for a C-clamp, even if a C-clamp is used for automotive repair.
- Fibreboard HSNs (Chapter 44: Wood and articles of wood): Codes like 44112910, 44112990, 44111990, 44112190 refer to “Fibreboard” and are completely unrelated to metal C-clamps.
- Chemical and Miscellaneous HSNs:
- 3818 (Chemical Elements Doped For Use I N Electronics): These are specialized chemical products, not a C-clamp. The GST rate is 12%.
- 0304 (Fish Fillets): This clearly pertains to fish products. The GST rate is 5%.
- 4103 (Raw Hides And Skins): This chapter deals with animal skins. The GST rate is 5%.
- 8486 (Machines And Apparatus For Semiconductor Manufacturing): This refers to highly specialized industrial machinery, not a C-clamp. The GST rate is 18%.
- 40029920 (Synthetic Rubber): This is for rubber compounds, not metal clamps. The GST rate is 18%.
- 28442000 (Radioactive Chemical Elements): This is for radioactive materials, completely unrelated. The GST rate is 18%.
The presence of these diverse HSNs in the provided data highlights the importance of accurately identifying the nature of the “clamp” being discussed. A C-clamp is fundamentally a hand tool, and its HSN reflects that.
