Undersanding the Compressor Machine HSN Code

Compressor machines primarily fall under Chapter 84 of the HSN, which covers “Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof.” This broad chapter includes various types of machinery.

Specifically, compressor machines are classified under HSN 8414. This heading is quite comprehensive and includes:

8414: Air or vacuum pumps; air or other gas compressors and fans; ventilating or recycling hoods incorporating a fan, whether or not fitted with filters; parts thereof.

Within HSN 8414, the classification further refines based on the type and application of the compressor:

For Refrigerating Equipment: If the compressor is specifically designed for refrigerating equipment (like in refrigerators, freezers, or chillers), it generally falls under HSN 84143000.
Air Compressors (Mounted on Wheeled Chassis): Air compressors designed to be mounted on a wheeled chassis for towing (e.g., portable compressors used at construction sites) are categorized under HSN 841440. This includes reciprocating (84144010), centrifugal (84144020), and screw air compressors (84144030).
Other Gas Compressors: For gas compressors not specifically used in refrigerating equipment or mounted on a wheeled chassis, they fall under HSN 84148019. Gas compressors used in air-conditioning equipment are found under 84148011.
Parts of Compressors: Parts suitable solely or principally with compressors (and pumps) are classified under HSN 841490. For instance, parts of gas compressors used in refrigerating and air conditioning equipment are under 84149011, and other parts are under 84149019.

GST Rate for Compressor Machines: The vast majority of compressor machines and their parts under HSN 8414 attract an 18% GST rate. This rate has been effective since November 15, 2017, for most sub-categories of compressors. A few exceptions exist, such as certain hand or foot-operated air pumps or parts of bicycle pumps, which might have a 12% GST rate, but for industrial and refrigerating compressors, 18% is the standard.

Therefore, when dealing with a compressor machine, always refer to HSN 8414 and its specific sub-headings based on the compressor’s type and intended use. Expect an 18% GST rate for most compressor machines.

FAQs

What is the main HSN code for compressor machines?

The main HSN code for compressor machines is 8414.

What is the GST rate for most compressor machines?

The GST rate for most compressor machines is 18%.

When did the 18% GST rate for compressors become effective?

The 18% GST rate for most compressors became effective on November 15, 2017.

What is the HSN code for air compressors mounted on a wheeled chassis?

Air compressors mounted on a wheeled chassis for towing are classified under HSN 841440.

Why is accurate HSN classification important for compressor machines?

Accurate HSN classification is crucial for correct GST invoicing, appropriate customs duty calculation (for imports/exports), and ensuring full compliance with Indian tax regulations for businesses dealing with compressor machines.
