Unraveling the Card HSN Code: A Detailed Overview

The Harmonized System Nomenclature (HSN) code is a globally recognized system for classifying goods. When it comes to “cards,” the specific HSN code can vary significantly depending on the type of card – whether it’s a playing card, a smart card, a paperboard card, or even a component in machinery. The provided data offers a glimpse into various HSN codes, but only one directly relates to a type of “card” in the electronic sense.

Let’s examine the relevant entry from the provided data:

  • 85238090: Discs, Tapes, Solid-State Non-Volatile Storage Devices, Smart Cards And Other Media For The Recording Of Sound Or Of Other Phenomena, Whether Or Not Recorded, Including Matrices And Masters 1 Production Of Discs, But Excluding Products Of Chapter 37 – Other. This entry indicates a GST rate of 18% with no CESS, effective from 01/07/2017.  

This highlights that HSN code 8523 is relevant for “media for the recording of sound or of other phenomena,” which includes smart cards. Smart cards are typically plastic cards with embedded integrated circuits that can store and process data. They are used for various applications like identification, payment, and access control.

However, the term “card” is broad. Other types of cards would fall under different HSN codes based on their material and function. For instance:

  • Paperboard cards used for printing or other graphic purposes would likely be classified under Chapter 48: Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp, of paper or of paperboard. The provided data includes several HSN codes under this chapter (e.g., 4802), which could potentially include certain types of cards made of paperboard, although none explicitly mention “cards.”
  • Playing cards are typically classified under Chapter 95: Toys, games and sports requisites; parts and accessories thereof. This chapter is not represented in the provided data.
  • Cards as components in machinery might be classified under the HSN code relevant to that specific machinery or its parts, as seen with HSN code 84733092 for graphic and intelligence-based script technology parts and accessories for machines of headings 8469 to 8472.

Therefore, there isn’t a single HSN code for all types of “cards.” The classification depends heavily on the card’s material, design, and intended use. The data primarily focuses on smart cards under the electronics category.
