The data provided primarily focuses on “peat” as a mineral fuel or substance (Chapter 27) and “articles of peat” (Chapter 68). However, coco peat, also known as coir pith, originates from coconuts, which are classified under “vegetable textile fibres.” This distinction is critical for correct HSN classification and GST rates.
Based on extensive HSN guidelines and common trade practices in India, coco peat (or coir pith) is classified under Chapter 53: Other vegetable textile fibres; paper yarn and woven fabrics of paper yarn.
More specifically, the HSN code for coco peat is 53050040. This code specifically describes “Coir pith.” It’s important to differentiate this from other coir products like coir fiber or curled coir fiber, which might fall under different sub-headings within Chapter 53.
The GST rate for coco peat (HSN 53050040) is 5%. This rate applies to coir pith, including products like coco peat blocks, coir pith compost, and processed coco peat for horticulture use.
It’s worth noting that the data you provided mostly details HSN codes for mineral peat (Chapter 27), which is subject to a 5% GST and a specific cess of Rs. 400 per tonne in some cases. However, coco peat’s classification as a vegetable textile fibre means it falls under a different chapter with its own set of rules, even if the GST rate is similar in some instances.
Therefore, when dealing with coco peat, always ensure you refer to Chapter 53 and the specific HSN code 53050040 to ensure accurate tax compliance. Misclassifying coco peat under mineral peat (Chapter 27) could lead to incorrect tax calculations and potential compliance issues.
The HSN code for coco peat is 53050040.
Coco peat belongs to HSN Chapter 53, which covers “Other vegetable textile fibres; paper yarn and woven fabrics of paper yarn.”
The GST rate for coco peat (HSN 53050040) is 5%.
Always consult the latest GST notifications from the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) or a tax professional for precise classification.
Mineral peat (including peat litter) falls under HSN Chapter 27, “Mineral fuels, mineral oils and products of their distillation.”
