Deodorants and antiperspirants are essential personal care products that help us stay fresh throughout the day. For businesses involved in the manufacturing, import, distribution, or sale of these products in India, understanding their correct Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code and the applicable Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate is crucial for compliance.
Deodorants, being a type of perfumery, cosmetic, or toilet preparation, are primarily classified under Chapter 33: Essential oils and resinoids, perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations.
Within Chapter 33, the most relevant HSN heading for personal deodorants is 3307: Pre-shave, shaving or after-shave preparations, personal deodorants, bath preparations, depilatories and other perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations, not elsewhere specified or included, prepared room deodorisers, whether or not perfumed or having disinfectant properties.
Specifically for personal deodorants and anti-perspirants, the HSN sub-code is:
It’s important to differentiate personal deodorants from room deodorizers, which also fall under HSN 3307 but have different sub-codes (e.g., 33074100 or 33074900 for prepared room deodorizers). However, the GST rate for these also remains 18%.
While 33072000 is the direct hit for personal deodorants, the broader HSN 3307 covers several related items that might be part of a personal grooming routine:
For businesses dealing in personal care products, accurately identifying the HSN code ensures correct GST calculation, proper invoicing, and efficient compliance with Indian tax regulations. Always verify with the latest official GST notifications for any updates or clarifications.
The primary HSN chapter for deodorants is 33, “Essential oils and resinoids, perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations.”
The specific HSN code for personal deodorants and anti-perspirants is 33072000.
The GST rate for deodorants in India is 18%.
Shaving creams and aftershaves also generally attract an 18% GST, falling under HSN 3307.
Knowing the correct HSN code for deodorants is vital for businesses to ensure accurate GST invoicing, proper tax collection, and adherence to tax regulations.
