Understanding the Coffee Powder HSN Code for GST Compliance
Coffee powder, a staple in households and businesses worldwide, comes in various forms – from freshly ground beans to instant formulations. For anyone involved in the coffee trade in India, accurately determining the HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code for coffee powder is essential for adhering to Goods and Services Tax (GST) regulations. The provided data focuses heavily on spices, but with some additional context from our research, we can clarify the HSN codes and GST rates for coffee powder.
Understanding HSN Classification for Coffee
HSN codes are globally recognized numbers that classify goods for customs and taxation purposes. In India, they are crucial for GST, ensuring consistent taxation across the supply chain. Coffee, as an agricultural product that undergoes processing, has distinct HSN classifications depending on its form and processing level. These classifications primarily fall under Chapter 09: Coffee, tea, mate and spices for less processed forms, and sometimes Chapter 21: Miscellaneous edible preparations for highly processed variants like instant coffee.
Differentiating Coffee Powder HSN Codes and GST Rates
The GST rate on coffee powder varies depending on whether it is roasted and ground, or an instant variety. This distinction is critical for compliance.
Roasted and Ground Coffee Powder
This refers to coffee beans that have been roasted and then ground into a powder, ready for brewing in a filter or coffeemaker. These forms are less processed than instant coffee.
- HSN Code 0901: This chapter heading broadly covers “Coffee, whether or not roasted or decaffeinated; coffee husks and skins; coffee substitutes containing coffee in any proportion.”
- GST Rate: 5%: Roasted and ground coffee powder, which is not instant, typically falls under HSN 0901 and attracts a 5% GST rate. This applies to traditional filter coffee powder and freshly ground roasted beans.
- Effective Date: This rate has been effective since July 1, 2017.
Instant Coffee Powder
Instant coffee undergoes significant processing, including brewing, drying (spray-dried or freeze-dried), and often agglomeration, to create a soluble powder.
- HSN Code 2101: Instant coffee, due to its highly processed nature, is classified under HSN 2101, which covers “Extracts, essences and concentrates, of coffee, tea or mate and preparations with a basis of these products or with a basis of coffee, tea or mate; roasted chicory and other roasted coffee substitutes, and extracts, essences and concentrates thereof.”
- GST Rate: 18%: Instant coffee, including flavored varieties and coffee-chicory mixes, attracts a higher GST rate of 18%.
- Effective Date: This rate has been in effect since July 1, 2017, with some rate revisions on November 15, 2017.
Why Accurate HSN Code Classification Matters
Correctly identifying the HSN code for coffee powder is paramount for:
- Accurate Tax Calculation: Ensures you charge and pay the correct GST, avoiding penalties.
- Input Tax Credit (ITC) Claims: Proper classification is essential for claiming ITC on your purchases.
- Supply Chain Efficiency: Clear HSN codes facilitate smooth movement of goods and documentation.
While the provided data initially focused on spices, the principles of HSN classification apply across all goods. For coffee powder, the key distinction lies in its processing level – roasted and ground versus instant – which directly impacts its HSN code and the applicable GST rate. Always ensure your business practices align with these classifications for full compliance.
