The Citric Acid HSN Code
Citric acid, a versatile organic acid, plays a crucial role across numerous industries, from food and beverages to pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. If you’re involved in the trade or manufacturing of citric acid in India, understanding its Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code is essential for accurate GST compliance. This blog post sheds light on the specific HSN code for citric acid and addresses common queries related to its classification and taxation.
Identifying the Correct HSN Code for Citric Acid
The HSN code for Citric Acid is 29181518. This code falls under Chapter 29 of the HSN system, which broadly covers “Organic chemicals.” More specifically, it is categorized under “Salts And Esters Of Citric Acid,” highlighting its chemical nature and the various forms it might take in commerce.
Understanding the GST Rate on Citric Acid
As per the data, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate applicable to Citric Acid (HSN code 29181518) is 18%. This rate has been effective since July 1, 2017. There is no CESS (%) applicable to this HSN code.
Related Chemical Classifications
While our primary focus is on citric acid, it’s insightful to see how other related chemical compounds are classified under the HSN system. This helps in understanding the broader context of chemical classification and why specific codes are assigned. The provided data also includes various other acids, their salts, and esters, each with their own HSN codes and, in most cases, an 18% GST rate. This consistency often reflects the general taxation policy for organic chemicals within the specified chapters.
