Understanding Conveyor Belt HSN Codes

The data clearly indicates two main categories for conveyor belts, based on their material composition:

  • Conveyor Belts of Vulcanised Rubber (Chapter 40): This is a very common type of conveyor belt.
    • HSN 40101: This broad heading specifically covers “Conveyor Or Transmission Belts Or Belting Of Vulcanised Rubber – Conveyor Belts Or Belting.”
    • Within this, various sub-classifications exist based on reinforcement material (metal, plastics, textile materials) and rubber compound content. Examples include:
      • 40101110: Reinforced only with metal, where rubber compound content is less than 25% by weight.
      • 40101190: Reinforced only with metal, other.
      • 40101310: Reinforced only with plastics, where rubber compound content is less than 25% by weight.
      • 40101390: Reinforced only with plastics, other.
      • 40101210: Reinforced only with textile materials, where rubber compound content is less than 25% by weight.
      • 40101290: Reinforced only with textile materials, other.
      • 40101910: Other (not reinforced with metal/plastics/textile), where rubber compound content is less than 25% by weight.
      • 40101990: Other, other.
    • All conveyor belts under HSN 4010 consistently attract an 18% GST rate, effective from July 1, 2017.
  • Conveyor Belts of Textile Material (Chapter 59): These belts might be impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with plastics, or reinforced with metal or other materials.
    • HSN 591000: This heading specifically covers “Transmission Or Conveyor Belts Or Belting, Of Textile Material, Whether Or Not Impregnated, Coated, Covered Or Laminated With Plastics, Or Reinforced With Metal Or Other Material.”
    • Various sub-codes within this, such as 59100010, 59100020, 59100030, 59100040, 59100050, 59100060, 59100090, all relate to different types of textile conveyor belts.
    • All conveyor belts under HSN 5910 consistently attract a 12% GST rate, effective from July 1, 2017.
  • PVC Belt Conveyors (Chapter 39): While the data specifically mentions “Pvc Belt Conveyor” under Chapter 39 (Plastics and articles thereof) with HSN 39269010, it generally refers to a finished conveyor system or a significant plastic component, rather than just the belt itself. This also has an 18% GST rate. If a conveyor belt is predominantly plastic, it could fall under Chapter 39.

In summary, the HSN code and GST rate for a conveyor belt primarily depend on whether its main component is vulcanised rubber (18% GST, HSN 4010) or textile material (12% GST, HSN 5910).

FAQs

What are the main HSN chapters for conveyor belts?

The main HSN chapters for conveyor belts are Chapter 40 (Rubber and articles thereof) and Chapter 59 (Textile materials).

What is the HSN code for a rubber conveyor belt?

Rubber conveyor belts generally fall under HSN codes starting with 40101, such as 40101110, 40101390, or 40101990, depending on their reinforcement and composition.

What is the GST rate for rubber conveyor belts?

The GST rate for rubber conveyor belts (HSN 4010) is 18%.

What is the HSN code for a textile conveyor belt?

Textile conveyor belts are classified under HSN codes starting with 591000, such as 59100010 or 59100090.

What about PVC conveyor belts?

If a conveyor belt is predominantly made of PVC, it might fall under HSN codes like 39269010 (for “Pvc Belt Conveyor”) with an 18% GST rate, although this often refers to the assembly rather than just the belt.

Why is accurate HSN classification important for conveyor belts?

Accurate HSN classification is essential for correct GST calculation, proper invoicing, streamlined customs procedures, and overall compliance for businesses involved in the trade of conveyor belts.
