Cartridge HSN Codes And Their Diverse GST Implications

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.

  • 93062900: Other shotgun cartridges and parts thereof; air gun pellets.
  • 93062100: Cartridges for shotguns.
  • 9306 (Appears as a broad category for shotgun cartridges and parts thereof; air gun pellets).
  • 93069000: Other cartridges and other ammunition and projectiles and parts thereof, including shot and cartridge wads.

Explore HSN Codes For Data Storage Cartridges

  • 96121010: Computer printer ribbon (which functions similarly to an ink cartridge).

Identify HSN Codes For Other Types Of Cartridges

The data also includes HSN codes for other specialized cartridges:

  • 85221000: Pick-up cartridges (as parts and accessories suitable for use solely or principally with apparatus of headings 8519 to 8521).
  • 96121020, 96121030, 96121090, 9612, 96122000: Various types of ribbons (including in cartridges) for typewriters and similar machines, and ink-pads.
  • 84013000, 84011000, 84012000, 8401: Fuel elements (cartridges), non-irradiated, for nuclear reactors, and related machinery.
  • 28445000: Spent (irradiated) fuel elements (cartridges) of nuclear reactors (under radioactive chemical elements and isotopes).

Understand Consistent GST Rate Across Cartridge Types

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.

Simplify Cartridge HSN Code Identification For Your Business

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).
