Understanding the Code for Cotton Gloves
Cotton gloves are ubiquitous, serving various purposes from protective wear in industries to everyday household chores and fashion accessories. For businesses in India dealing with the manufacture, import, or sale of cotton gloves, correctly identifying their Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code is vital for accurate Goods and Services Tax (GST) compliance. The HSN classification for cotton gloves primarily depends on their manufacturing method – whether they are knitted or crocheted, or otherwise made.
Knitted or Crocheted Cotton Gloves: HSN 6116
When cotton gloves are produced by knitting or crocheting, they fall under a specific chapter dedicated to such textile products:
- Chapter 61: Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted.
- Within this chapter, the relevant heading is 6116: Gloves, mittens and mitts, knitted or crocheted.
- For cotton gloves specifically, the sub-code is:
- 61169200: Gloves, Mittens And Mitts, Knitted Or Crocheted – Other : Of Cotton.
- The GST rate for knitted or crocheted cotton gloves under this HSN code is 12%, effective from July 1, 2017.
- 61169200: Gloves, Mittens And Mitts, Knitted Or Crocheted – Other : Of Cotton.
This classification covers common types of knitted cotton gloves used for general purposes, light industrial work, or as liners.
Other Cotton Gloves (Not Knitted or Crocheted): HSN 6216
Cotton gloves that are not knitted or crocheted, meaning they are typically cut and sewn from woven cotton fabric, fall under a different chapter:
- Chapter 62: Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted.
- Under this chapter, the relevant heading is 6216: Gloves, mittens and mitts.
- For cotton gloves specifically, the sub-code is:
- 62160010: Gloves, Mittens And Mitts – Gloves, Mittens And Mitts : Of Cotton.
- The GST rate for cotton gloves (not knitted or crocheted) under this HSN code is also 12%, effective from July 1, 2017.
- 62160010: Gloves, Mittens And Mitts – Gloves, Mittens And Mitts : Of Cotton.
This category would include items like fabric work gloves, dress gloves made from woven cotton, or other specialized cut-and-sewn cotton gloves.
Distinguishing Between Categories
While both categories of cotton gloves currently attract the same 12% GST rate, the distinction in HSN codes (6116 for knitted/crocheted vs. 6216 for others) is crucial for accurate classification and reporting. It highlights the importance of understanding the manufacturing process of the textile article.
For businesses, accurately applying the correct HSN code ensures seamless compliance, proper invoicing, and efficient management of tax liabilities. Always refer to the latest official GST notifications for any updates or clarifications.
