Understanding the Dettol Hand Wash HSN Code for GST
For businesses in India dealing with popular products like “Dettol hand wash,” understanding the correct HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code is vital for accurate GST compliance and seamless trade operations. Hand washes, being a type of personal hygiene product, fall under specific classifications within the HSN system.
Dettol Hand Wash HSN Code and GST Rate
Dettol hand wash, or any similar liquid hand wash, is classified under the HSN chapter for “Soap, organic surface-active agents, washing preparations, lubricating preparations, artificial waxes, prepared waxes, polishing or scouring preparations, candles and similar articles, modelling pastes, dental waxes’ and dental preparations with a basis of plaster.”
Based on the provided data, the most appropriate HSN code for Dettol hand wash, given its nature as a liquid preparation for washing the skin, is:
- 34013090: “Soap; Organic Surface-Active Products And Preparations For Use As Soap, In The Form Of Bars, Cakes, Moulded Pieces Or Shapes, Whether Or Not Containing Soap; Organic Surface-Active Products And Preparations For Washing The Skin, In The Form Of Liquid Or Cream…”
This HSN code precisely captures products like liquid hand washes. It attracts an 18% GST rate, which became effective on November 15, 2017.
It’s important to differentiate this specific HSN for liquid skin washing preparations from other related codes that might appear in the data but are not directly applicable to Dettol hand wash:
- 340118%: This refers to “Soap; Organic Surface-Active Products And Preparations For Use As Soap, In The Form Of Bars, Cakes, Moulded Pieces Or Shapes, Whether Or Not Containing Soap…” This is for solid soaps, not liquid hand wash.
- 340218%: This refers to “Organic Surface-Active Agents (Other Than Soap), Surface-Active Preparations, Washing Preparations (Including Auxiliary Washing Preparations) And Cleaning Preparations, Whether Or Not Containing Soap, Other Than Those Of Heading 3401 – Organic Surface-Active Agents (Other Than Soap)…” This is a broader category for other washing/cleaning preparations, but 34013090 is more specific for skin washing liquids.
- Other HSN codes in the provided data, such as those related to “Hand Tools” (Chapter 82 and 84), “Carpets” (Chapter 57), or “Brooms, Brushes” (Chapter 96), are entirely unrelated to hand wash products.
Why HSN Codes are Essential for Your FMCG Business
Accurate HSN code classification is fundamental for several reasons:
- GST Compliance: The HSN code directly determines the applicable GST rate, ensuring businesses charge and remit the correct amount of tax to the government, avoiding penalties.
- Transparent Pricing: Clear HSN codes contribute to transparent pricing throughout the supply chain, from manufacturers to retailers and ultimately to consumers.
- Seamless Trade: HSN codes provide a universal language for goods, simplifying customs procedures for both domestic and international trade, reducing delays and errors.
- Inventory Management: Proper classification aids in efficient inventory tracking, procurement, and overall supply chain management for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG).
