Understanding the Earthing Strip HSN Code
Earthing strips are vital components in electrical installations, providing a safe path for fault currents to dissipate into the ground, thus protecting equipment and preventing electrical shocks. For businesses manufacturing, supplying, or trading in earthing strips, correctly identifying their HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code is crucial for GST (Goods and Services Tax) compliance.
The provided data contains various HSN codes related to different types of “strip” made from various materials. To pinpoint the HSN code for an “Earthing Strip,” we need to consider its primary material composition, which is typically metal.
The Right HSN for Metal Earthing Strips
Earthing strips are almost invariably made of conductive metals like copper, galvanized iron (GI), or sometimes aluminum. Therefore, they will fall under the HSN chapters related to base metals.
Based on the provided data, we can infer the relevant HSN codes for metal strips:
- Chapter 72: Iron and steel
- HSN 72112350: Flat-Rolled Products Of Iron Or Non-Alloy Steel, Of A Width Of Less Than 600 Mm, Not Clad, Plated Or Coated – Not Further Worked Than Cold-Rolled (Cold-Reduced) : Containing By Weight Less Than 0.25% Of Carbon: Strip. This code is suitable for earthing strips made of iron or non-alloy steel.
- HSN 72085340: Flat-Rolled Products Of Iron Or Non-Alloy Steel, Of A Width Of 600 Mm Or More, Hot-Rolled, Not Clad, Plated Or Coated – Other, Not In Coils, Not Further Worked Than Hotrolled : Of A Thickness Of 3 Mm Or More But Less Than 4.75 Mm : Strip. This also covers steel strips of a certain dimension.
- The GST rate for these steel strips is 18%, effective from July 1, 2017.
- Chapter 75: Nickel and articles thereof
- HSN 75061000: Nickel Plates, Sheets, Strip And Foil – Of Nickel, Not Alloyed. If an earthing strip is made of nickel (less common but possible for specialized applications), this HSN would apply.
- The GST rate for nickel strips is 18%, effective from July 1, 2017.
- Chapter 79: Zinc and articles thereof
- HSN 79050030: Zinc Plates, Sheets, Strip And Foil – Zinc Plates, Sheets, Strip And Foil :Sheets, Strip And Circles. If an earthing strip is made of zinc, this HSN would be relevant.
- The GST rate for zinc strips is 18%, effective from July 1, 2017.
- Chapter 81: Other base metals; cermets; articles thereof
- HSN 810295: Bars And Rods, Other Than Those Obtained Simply By Sintering, Profiles, Plates, Sheets, Strip And Foil. This heading covers strips of other base metals like tungsten.
- The GST rate is 18%, effective from July 1, 2017.
The Applicable GST Rate for Earthing Strips
Based on the common metallic composition of earthing strips and the HSN codes provided, the prevailing GST rate for earthing strips is consistently 18%. This applies to strips made of iron, steel, nickel, zinc, or other base metals that are typically used for grounding purposes.
It’s important to distinguish earthing strips from other types of “strips” mentioned in the data, which are made of different materials like:
- Rubber (Chapter 40): Natural or synthetic rubber in strip form (e.g., HSN 4001, 4002) with 5% or 18% GST. These are not used for electrical earthing.
- Man-made Textile Materials (Chapter 54): Woven fabrics of artificial filament or strip (e.g., HSN 5408) with 5% GST.
- Plastics (Chapter 39): Various plastic plates, sheets, film, foil, and strip (e.g., HSN 3920) with 18% GST.
- Leather (Chapter 41): Composition leather in slabs, sheets or strip (HSN 4115) with 12% GST.
Therefore, for an earthing strip, the key is its metallic nature and its intended use, which directs it to the appropriate HSN code within the base metal chapters, consistently attracting an 18% GST rate.
