Door mat HSN Code

Understanding Door Mat HSN Codes and GST

Door mats are more than just functional items that keep our homes and offices clean; they also contribute to the aesthetics and safety of an entrance. For businesses involved in manufacturing, importing, or selling door mats, accurately identifying the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code and the applicable Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate is essential for proper compliance and streamlined operations.

However, a careful review of the provided data reveals an interesting challenge: the data does not directly list any HSN codes specifically for “door mats” as a tangible product. Instead, it features:

• Services related to “door delivery” (HSN 996331 and 996332): These are SAC (Services Accounting Codes) for services provided by restaurants, cafes, hotels, inns, and guest houses, including food delivery. This is a service, not a product.
• Sports and games requisites (HSN 9506): This chapter includes various sports equipment like skis, skates, balls, pads, and nets. This is clearly unrelated to door mats.
• Products of animal origin (HSN 0508): This covers materials like coral and shells. This is also unrelated to door mats.

This indicates that the provided data does not contain the relevant HSN code for a physical “door mat.”

Where to Find the Real Door Mat HSN Code

A standard door mat, being a textile article or made of other materials like rubber, coir, or synthetic fibers, would typically fall under different HSN chapters, depending on its material:

• Textile Floor Coverings (Chapter 57): This is the most common chapter for mats and floor coverings made of textile materials (e.g., jute, coir, synthetic fibers).
  • For instance, coir mats often fall under HSN 5702 or 5703.
  • Other textile mats could be found in HSN 5705.
• Plastics and Articles Thereof; Rubber and Articles Thereof (Chapters 39 and 40): If the door mat is made of plastic or rubber.
• Woven Fabrics of Other Vegetable Textile Fibres; Paper Yarn and Woven Fabrics of Paper Yarn (Chapter 53): For mats made from specific vegetable fibers like jute or coir.

Without specific data on the material of the “door mat,” it’s impossible to pinpoint an HSN from the given information.

Understanding GST Rates for “Door Mat”

Since the provided data does not list HSN codes for door mats, we cannot derive their GST rates directly from this data. However, based on general GST knowledge in India:

• Most textile floor coverings, including door mats made of coir, jute, or synthetic fibers, typically attract a 12% or 18% GST rate, depending on the specific material and type.
• Mats made of rubber or plastics would fall under their respective chapters and generally attract an 18% GST rate.
