Understanding the Double Side Tape HSN Code
Double-sided tape is an incredibly versatile adhesive solution, offering strong bonds without visible fasteners. From crafting and home decor to industrial assembly and automotive applications, its utility is vast. For businesses manufacturing, importing, or selling double-sided tape in India, accurately identifying its HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code is essential for correct GST (Goods and Services Tax) compliance. The HSN system provides a globally recognized framework for classifying goods, standardizing trade and taxation.
The HSN code for “Double Side Tape” fundamentally depends on the material it is made from, as “double-sided” describes a feature, not a primary material classification.
Based on the provided data, we can identify several categories for different types of tapes, which would apply to their double-sided variants:
1. Double-Sided Tapes Made of Rubberized Textile Fabrics
Some double-sided tapes, particularly those with a fabric or woven backing coated with rubberized adhesive, would fall under:
- Chapter 59: Impregnated, coated, covered or laminated textile fabrics; textile articles of a kind suitable for industrial use.
- HSN 59061000: Rubberised Textile Fabrics, Other Than Those Of Heading 5902 – Adhesive Tape Of A Width Not Exceeding 20 Cm. This code specifically addresses adhesive tapes made from rubberized textile materials. A double-sided version of such a tape would fit here.
These types of textile-based adhesive tapes attract a 12% GST rate, effective from July 1, 2017.
2. Double-Sided Tapes Made of Paper or Paperboard
Many double-sided tapes, especially those used for lighter applications like crafting or stationery, have a paper backing. These would typically fall under:
- Chapter 48: Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp, of paper or of paperboard.
- While the provided data lists many specific HSN codes under 4802 (Uncoated Paper And Paperboard… And Non-Perforated Punch Card And Punch Tape Paper), these seem to refer more broadly to “tape paper” itself. For adhesive paper tapes, a broader HSN like 4823 (“Other paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibres, cut to size or shape; other articles of paper pulp, paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibres – Gummed or adhesive paper, in strips or rolls”) would be more directly applicable for self-adhesive paper tapes. However, given the provided data’s focus on 4802 and its various sub-codes (e.g., 48026230, 48025640, 48023000), which are listed as “Tape Paper,” a double-sided version of such paper tape would likely be classified here.
These paper-based tapes under HSN 4802 generally attract a 12% GST rate, effective from July 1, 2017.
What about Plastic-Based Double-Sided Tapes?
While the provided data does not explicitly list an HSN code for “self-adhesive plates, sheets, film, foil, tape, strip, and other flat shapes, of plastics” (which is HSN 3919), this is the most common material for many double-sided tapes (e.g., clear, acrylic, foam tapes). If such a code were present, it would likely attract an 18% GST rate, similar to other plastic articles. Without it in the provided data, we rely on the options given.
Other Irrelevant Classifications
The data also includes various other HSN codes that are unrelated to double-sided tape:
- Motorcycles (Chapter 87): HSN 8711 and its sub-codes are for vehicles.
- Video Recording Apparatus and Magnetic Tapes (Chapter 85): HSN 8521 and 8523 are for electronic recording equipment and media.
- Fertilizers (Chapter 31): HSN 3102 and its sub-codes are for chemical fertilizers.
- Machine-Tools (Chapter 84): HSN 84596940 is for industrial machinery.
These unrelated entries should be disregarded when classifying double-sided tape.
