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:
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:
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.
Smart cards, used as media for recording data, fall under HSN code 85238090.
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate for smart cards (HSN 85238090) is 18%.
Paper-based cards, such as those used for printing or business cards, would likely be classified under Chapter 48, relating to paper and paperboard.
Playing cards are generally classified under Chapter 95, which includes toys and games.
Yes, cards that function as parts or accessories of electronic devices might be classified under the HSN code relevant to those devices or their specific parts, as seen with HSN 8473 for parts of certain machinery.
