Understanding Your Electric Kettle’s HSN Code

The humble electric kettle has become a staple in many households and offices, offering a quick and convenient way to boil water. But for businesses involved in their import, export, or sale, understanding the correct HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code is crucial for accurate GST (Goods and Services Tax) compliance in India. Let’s explore the world of electric kettle HSN codes.

What HSN Chapter Covers Electric Kettles?

Electric kettles fall under Chapter 85 of the HSN system, which broadly covers “Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles.” This chapter is a vast category that includes various electrical appliances, and electric kettles find their place within its specific subheadings.

The Specific HSN Codes for Electric Kettles

While electric kettles are generally categorized under the broader HSN Heading 8516, which encompasses “Electric instantaneous or storage water heaters and immersion heaters; electric space heating apparatus and soil heating apparatus; electrothermic hair-dressing apparatus (for example, hair dryers, hair curlers, curling tong heaters) and hand dryers; electric smoothing irons; other electro-thermic appliances,” there are more specific codes for kettles:

  • 85167100: This HSN code specifically refers to “Electro-thermic coffee or tea makers, for domestic use.” Electric kettles, as devices primarily used for boiling water for tea or coffee, often fall under this category.
  • 85167990: This code acts as a residual category for “Other electro-thermic appliances, for domestic use” not specifically mentioned elsewhere. Some types of electric kettles, especially multi-purpose ones, might be classified here.
  • 85169000: This HSN code is for “Parts” of the articles mentioned under HSN Heading 8516. If you are dealing with components of electric kettles, this is the relevant code.

What is the GST Rate for Electric Kettles?

Based on the provided data, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate for electric kettles, as well as many other electrical appliances under HSN 8516, is 18%. This rate has been consistently applied since July 27, 2018, and in some cases, even earlier from July 1, 2017.
