Embroidery machines, from compact household models to large industrial powerhouses, are fascinating pieces of engineering that transform fabric into art. For businesses dealing with these intricate machines in India, navigating their specific HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code is crucial for accurate GST (Goods and Services Tax) compliance.
The HSN system provides a globally recognized method for classifying goods, ensuring uniformity in trade and taxation. Embroidery machines, being mechanical appliances designed for specific textile operations, fall under a logical classification within the HSN structure.
Embroidery machines are primarily categorized under Chapter 84: “Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof.” This broad chapter encompasses a vast range of machinery.
More precisely, within Chapter 84, the relevant heading is 8447: “Knitting Machines, Stitch-Bonding Machines And Machines For Making Gimped Yarn, Tulle, Lace, Embroidery, Trimmings, Braid Or Net And Machines For Tufting.” This heading explicitly groups various textile-related machinery, including those for embroidery.
The data provided clearly points to the specific HSN code for embroidery machines:
It’s important to note that other HSN codes under 8447 relate to different types of knitting machines and machines for making other textile products like tulle, lace, and braids. The key here is the specific “Machines For Making Embroidery” classification.
Embroidery machines classified under HSN 84479020 consistently attract an 18% GST rate in India. This rate has been in effect since July 1, 2017.
This means that whether you’re importing, manufacturing, or selling an embroidery machine, the 18% GST rate will apply to the transaction. Businesses should ensure their invoicing and tax declarations reflect this correct HSN code and GST rate to avoid any compliance issues.
In summary, for clear and accurate GST compliance, an embroidery machine should be classified under HSN 84479020, with an applicable GST rate of 18%.
The primary HSN code for an embroidery machine is 84479020.
Embroidery machines are covered under Chapter 84: “Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof.”
While the data focuses on the machines themselves, parts for machines under HSN 8447 would generally be found under other specific HSN codes within Chapter 84, often starting with 8448 for auxiliary machinery and parts.
Yes, knitting machines share the broader HSN heading 8447 with embroidery machines, but have different specific sub-codes within it.
Based on the provided data, all machines listed under HSN 8447, including various knitting machines, also attract an 18% GST rate.
