Understanding “Clip” HSN Codes

The term “clip” might seem straightforward, but in the world of HSN codes and GST, it refers to a surprisingly diverse range of items. From stationery to scrap metal and even components of electrical appliances, “clip” appears in various classifications based on its material, purpose, and form. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for accurate tax compliance and proper business operations.

The “Clip” HSN Codes

The Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) categorizes items meticulously. When it comes to “clips,” you’ll find them across several chapters, reflecting their varied uses.

Here’s how different types of “clips” are typically classified:

  • Parts of Pens and Pencils (Chapter 9608): This is a prominent category where the term “clip” appears.
    • Parts (Including Caps And Clips) Of Pens and Pencils: This specific classification covers the clips that are integral components of writing instruments like ballpoint pens, fountain pens, and propelling pencils. You’ll find various sub-headings under 9608, such as 96086090, 96089990, 96089910, 96089199, 96089120, and 96089110, all generally referring to parts, including clips, of these writing instruments.
  • Office Articles of Base Metal (Chapter 8305): This chapter covers miscellaneous articles of base metal, including common office supplies.
    • Fittings For Loose-Leaf Binders Or Files, Letter Clips, Letter Corners, Paper Clips, Indexing Tags And Similar Office Articles, Of Base Metal: This HSN heading specifically includes familiar office items like paper clips and letter clips. Sub-headings like 83059010 (Pins) and 83059090 (Other, including parts) refer to these types of clips and their components.
  • Waste and Scrap Metals (Various Chapters: 74, 75, 76, 81): The term “clippings” is frequently used in the context of metal waste and scrap, referring to pieces cut or trimmed from larger metal sheets or products.
    • Aluminium Waste And Scrap (HSN 76020010): This includes “Mixed Low Copper Aluminium Clippings And Solids.”
    • Copper Waste And Scrap (HSN 74040023): This category lists “New Nickel Silver Clippings.”
    • Nickel Waste And Scrap (HSN 75030010): This covers “New Cupro Nickel Clips And Solids.”
    • Magnesium Waste And Scrap (HSN 81042010): This includes “Magnesium Clips.”
  • Hair Clippers and Other Cutlery (Chapters 8214, 8510): While the primary product is a “clipper” as a tool, it relates to the action of clipping.
    • Hair Clippers (Manual) (HSN 82142010, 82142090): These fall under articles of cutlery.
    • Electric Hair Clippers (HSN 85102000): These are classified under electrical machinery with self-contained electric motors.
  • Cinematographic Film Clippings (Chapter 3706): In a very different context, “clippings” also refer to parts of cinematographic film, often used for news or audio-visual materials.
    • News Reels And Clippings (HSN 37069030): Specific to news film.
    • Audio Visual News Or Audio Visual Views Materials Including News Clippings (HSN 37069091): A broader category for audio-visual content.

Understanding GST Rates for “Clips”

The GST rates for items classified as “clips” vary depending on their specific HSN code and nature. However, a common thread of 18% runs through many of these classifications, with some notable exceptions.

  • 18% GST Rate:
    • Parts of Pens and Pencils (including clips): All HSNs under 9608 mentioned above, such as 96086090, 96089990, 96089910, 96089199, 96089120, and 96089110, attract an 18% GST.
    • Office Articles of Base Metal (Paper Clips, Letter Clips): HSN 8305 and its sub-headings like 83059010 (Pins) and 83059090 (Other) generally have an 18% GST rate.
    • Waste and Scrap Metals (Clippings): Aluminium (76020010), Copper (74040023), Nickel (75030010), and Magnesium (81042010) clippings and scrap all fall under an 18% GST.
