The term “cartridge” encompasses a wide array of items, leading to a diverse set of Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) codes and Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates. This blog post breaks down the various HSN codes applicable to different types of cartridges based on the provided data, highlighting the consistent GST rate of 18% across them.
Cartridges used as ammunition fall under Chapter 93, which covers “Arms and ammunition; parts and accessories thereof.” The specific HSN codes identified are:
Cartridges used for data storage are classified under Chapter 85, relating to “Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof.” The relevant HSN codes include:
Ink cartridges for printers are categorized under Chapter 84 and Chapter 96:
The data also includes HSN codes for other specialized cartridges:
Despite the diverse applications of cartridges, ranging from ammunition to data storage to printer ink and even nuclear fuel, the provided data indicates a uniform Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate of 18% for all the listed HSN codes. Additionally, there is no CESS applicable to these items.
While the term “cartridge” is broad, the consistent GST rate of 18% simplifies tax compliance. However, accurately identifying the specific HSN code for your product is still crucial for proper documentation. The HSN code depends on the cartridge’s function – whether it’s for ammunition (Chapter 93), data storage (Chapter 85), printing (Chapter 84 or 96), or other specialized industrial or scientific uses (Chapters 84, 28).
Printer ink cartridges (including those with a print head assembly under HSN 84733050) have a GST rate of 18%.
The HSN code for shotgun cartridges is 93062100, and the GST rate is 18%.
Yes, based on the provided data, all listed categories of cartridges, regardless of their function, have a GST rate of 18%.
