What’s the HSN Code for Your Cold Drink?
When you grab a refreshing cold drink, you likely don’t think about its HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code. However, for businesses involved in the manufacturing, distribution, or sale of these popular beverages, understanding the correct HSN classification is critical for accurate GST (Goods and Services Tax) compliance in India.
The provided data, interestingly, doesn’t directly list HSN codes for “cold drinks” as finished beverages. Instead, it offers a glimpse into materials and machinery often associated with their production or consumption. This suggests that the HSN code for a “cold drink” will depend on its specific composition and category.
Cold Drink-Related HSN Classifications
Since “cold drink” is a generic term that can encompass various beverages, its HSN classification will depend on the type of drink:
- Aerated Waters/Soft Drinks: These are typically classified under Chapter 22 (Beverages, spirits and vinegar). Common HSN codes for aerated waters often include 220210 (for waters, including mineral waters and aerated waters, containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or flavoured) and 220290 (for other non-alcoholic beverages). These usually attract a 28% GST rate along with a 12% compensation cess, making them among the highest taxed items. (Please note: This specific HSN and rate are not directly in the provided data, but are widely known for aerated cold drinks in India).
- Fruit Juices/Nectars: These would fall under Chapter 20 (Preparations of vegetables, fruit, nuts or other parts of plants) or Chapter 22, depending on their sugar content and processing. For example, fruit juices (not fermented, not containing added spirit) are often under HSN 2009 and can have GST rates ranging from 12% to 18%. (Again, not directly in provided data but standard classification).
- Mineral Water/Packaged Drinking Water: These are typically under HSN 2201 and usually attract an 18% GST rate. (Not in provided data).
What the Provided Data Does Tell Us (Indirectly)
The data you provided, while not giving a direct HSN for “cold drink,” offers insights into related areas:
- Machinery for Food and Drink Industry (Chapter 84):
- 84382000 (18% GST): This code is for “Machinery, Not Specified Or Included Elsewhere In This Chapter, For The Industrial Preparation Or Manufacture Of Food Or Drink, Other Than Machinery For The Extraction Or Preparation Of Animal Or Fixed Vegetable Fats Or Oils – Machinery For The Ma.” This would include machinery used to manufacture cold drinks.
- 84388020 (18% GST): This is another code for “Other Machinery: F” within the same context of food and drink industrial preparation. These indicate that the equipment used to produce cold drinks attracts an 18% GST.
- Ingredients for Food or Drink Industries (Chapter 33):
- 33021018 (18% GST): “Essential oils and resinoids, perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations – Of A Kind Used In The Food Or Drink Industries.” This would cover flavorings or essences used in cold drinks.
- Cold Storage & Refrigeration (Chapters 94 & 84):
- 94060092 (18% GST): “Prefabricated Buildings – Other : Prefabricated Construction For Cold Storage.” This is relevant for storing cold drinks.
- While not explicitly listed, refrigerating equipment like chillers or deep freezers (which would fall under HSN 8418, as seen in a previous example) are essential for cold drinks.
- Materials for Packaging (Chapter 72): A significant portion of the provided data relates to “Flat-Rolled Products Of Stainless Steel” and “Bars And Rods… Cold-Formed Or Cold-Finished” (Chapter 72, various HSN codes, all at 18% GST). While not directly about the drink, these materials are crucial for manufacturing machinery, storage tanks, or even certain types of reusable bottles for cold drinks.
In summary, to find the HSN code for a cold drink, you must identify its specific type (e.g., aerated, juice, flavored water). The direct HSN codes for the beverages themselves are not present in your provided data, but the surrounding information points to an ecosystem where cold drinks are produced, stored, and flavored.
