Understand the Chain Block HSN Code

Chain blocks, also commonly known as chain pulley blocks or hand chain hoists, are indispensable tools for manual lifting and lowering of heavy loads across various industries, from construction and manufacturing to warehousing. For businesses dealing with these vital pieces of equipment, understanding the correct HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code is paramount for accurate GST (Goods and Services Tax) compliance.

Let’s explore the primary HSN codes associated with chain blocks and their corresponding GST rates.

Classifying Chain Blocks Under HSN

Chain blocks primarily fall under Chapter 84 of the HSN, which deals with “Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof.” Specifically, they are categorized under Heading 8425, which covers “Pulley tackle and hoists other than skip hoists or hoists of a kind used for raising vehicles; winches and capstans; jacks.”

Here are the key HSN codes you’ll encounter for chain blocks:

Chain Pulley Block (Non-Powered by Electric Motor): This is the most common classification for manual chain blocks.
- HSN Code: 84251920
- This code specifically classifies chain pulley blocks used in manual or mechanical lifting operations.
Other Jacks and Hoists for Raising Vehicles (Including Chain Blocks): While the description primarily points to vehicle-raising equipment, chain blocks and chain pulley blocks are also explicitly mentioned as products under this broader category when they function as “other jacks and hoists.”
- HSN Code: 84254900
Parts of Pulley Tackle and Hoists: Components and spare parts specifically for chain blocks and similar lifting equipment.
- HSN Code: 84311090 (often includes chain blocks as parts or accessories of lifting tools)

It’s important to note that while some chains (like “Lifting and Hoisting Chain”) have HSN codes under Chapter 73 (“Articles of iron or steel”), such as 73151210, these refer to the chain itself rather than the complete chain block mechanism. The chain block as a complete lifting device is typically classified under Chapter 84 due to its mechanical function.

Understanding GST Rates for Chain Blocks

The predominant GST rate for chain blocks (chain pulley blocks) in India is 18%. This rate applies to the key HSN codes like 84251920 and 84254900.

While some older or less common classifications might have shown different rates, the 18% GST rate has been largely consistent for mechanical lifting equipment like chain blocks since the implementation of GST on July 1, 2017. There are no CESS charges typically associated with these products.

FAQs

What is the main HSN code for a standard manual chain block?
The main HSN code is 84251920.
What is the GST rate for chain pulley blocks?
Chain pulley blocks (HSN 84251920) generally have an 18% GST rate.
What HSN code applies to parts of a chain block?
Parts suitable for use with chain blocks are often classified under HSN 84311090.
Does the HSN code for chain block vary by material?
For the complete chain block mechanism, the HSN is primarily based on its function as lifting machinery, not necessarily the specific metal composition, although the chain component itself might have a metal-specific HSN if traded separately.
Can a chain block be classified under HSN 7315?
HSN 7315 pertains to “Chain and parts thereof, of iron or steel.” While a chain block uses a chain, the entire “block” mechanism is classified under 8425 as a lifting machine, not just a chain.
