Understanding the Chain Link HSN Code

Chain links, whether individual components or as part of larger assemblies like fencing, play a crucial role in various industries, from security and construction to manufacturing and logistics. For businesses dealing with these products in India, correctly identifying their HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code is essential for accurate GST (Goods and Services Tax) application.

The term “chain link” can refer to different products, leading to variations in HSN classification. This guide will explore the relevant HSN codes and their corresponding GST rates.

The Chain Link HSN Codes

The majority of “chain link” products, especially those made of iron or steel, fall under Chapter 73 of the HSN, which covers “Articles of iron or steel.” Within this chapter, there are two primary headings that apply:

1. HSN 7315: Chain and Parts Thereof, of Iron or Steel

This heading is specifically for various types of chains and their parts. When we talk about individual links or complete chains for lifting, conveying, or other mechanical purposes, they will generally fall here.

  • Roller Chain: Used in machinery for power transmission.
    • HSN Code: 73151100
  • Lifting and Hoisting Chain: Chains designed for lifting applications.
    • HSN Code: 73151210
  • Ship Chain: Heavy-duty chains used in marine applications.
    • HSN Code: 73151220
  • Skid Chain: Chains designed for improving traction, typically for vehicles.
    • HSN Code: 73152000
  • Stud-Link Chain: Chains with a stud between the sides of each link for added strength and stability (common in anchor chains).
    • HSN Code: 73158100
  • Welded Link Chain (Other than articulated, skid, or stud-link):
    • HSN Code: 73158200
  • Other Chains (of iron or steel): A broad category for chains not specifically mentioned.
    • HSN Code: 73158900
  • Parts of Chains (under HSN 7315): Individual components of these chains.
    • HSN Code: 73159000 or specific part codes like 73151900 for articulated chain parts.

2. HSN 7314: Cloth (including endless bands), Grill, Netting and Fencing, of Iron or Steel Wire; Expanded Metal of Iron or Steel

This heading is crucial for “chain link fencing,” which is essentially a type of netting or fencing made from interconnected steel wire links.

  • Wire Netting (often includes chain link mesh for fencing):
    • HSN Code: 73144910
    • Other relevant sub-codes for chain link fencing, especially if coated (e.g., PVC coated or galvanized), can be found under 73144290 or 73141990, depending on the specific characteristics.

It’s important to distinguish between the individual “chain link” as a component of a chain (under 7315) and a “chain link fence” (under 7314).

Applying GST Rates to Chain Link Products

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate for most “chain link” products, whether they are individual chains (under HSN 7315) or chain link fencing (under HSN 7314), is consistently 18%.

This uniform 18% GST rate for articles of iron or steel, including various types of chains and wire products, has been in effect since the initial implementation of GST on July 1, 2017. There are no CESS charges typically associated with these HSN codes.

FAQs

What is the HSN code for chain link fencing?

Chain link fencing typically falls under HSN 7314, often specifically 73144910 for wire netting, or 73144290 for coated chain link mesh.

What is the GST rate for chain link fencing?

The GST rate for chain link fencing is 18%.

What is the HSN code for a roller chain?

A roller chain has the HSN code 73151100.

How do I distinguish between HSN 7314 and HSN 7315 for chain links?

HSN 7314 covers chain link fencing or netting made of wire, while HSN 7315 covers various types of chains (like roller chains, lifting chains) and their individual links as components of those chains.

What is the GST effective date for these chain link products?

The 18% GST rate for these products has been effective since July 1, 2017.
