Dishwashing liquid is a household essential, playing a crucial role in maintaining hygiene in our kitchens. For manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of this everyday product in India, correctly identifying its Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code is paramount for seamless Goods and Services Tax (GST) compliance. The HSN system provides a standardized international classification of products, simplifying trade and taxation.
When it comes to dishwashing liquid, the primary HSN classification falls under Chapter 34 of the HSN system. This chapter broadly covers “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 related preparations.
More specifically, dishwashing liquid is typically categorized under HSN codes that relate to “organic surface-active products and preparations for washing.” The data provided highlights:
It’s important to differentiate dishwashing liquid from other “liquid” items that may appear in HSN codes, such as liquid pumps (Chapter 84), liquid crystal devices (Chapter 90), or certain inorganic compounds (Chapter 28). These are distinct categories and do not pertain to dishwashing detergents.
The GST rate for dishwashing liquid in India has consistently been 18% since July 1, 2017. Businesses must ensure they use the most precise HSN code that accurately describes their specific dishwashing liquid product to maintain compliance and facilitate proper taxation.
Dishwashing liquid primarily falls under Chapter 34 of the HSN system.
The general GST rate for dishwashing liquid is 18%.
Many synthetic dishwashing detergents are commonly found under HSN codes like 34029099 or 34029019 within Chapter 34.
Using the correct HSN code ensures accurate GST calculation, proper invoicing, and compliance with tax regulations.
No, HSN codes starting with ’84’ typically relate to machinery, and ’90’ to optical instruments; they do not apply to dishwashing liquid itself.
