Understand the Flex HSN Code and GST Implications
The term “flex” can refer to various materials and products, leading to different classifications under the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN). Based on the provided data, we can identify HSN codes and Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates for different types of “flex.”
Identify HSN Codes for Flexible Plastic Sheets and Films
A significant portion of the data falls under Chapter 39, “Plastics and articles thereof,” specifically for “Other Plates, Sheets, Film, Foil And Strip, Of Plastics…” Several sub-codes are listed with the descriptor “Flexible, Plain” or “Flexible,” indicating various types of flexible plastic materials commonly referred to as “flex” in industries like printing and signage:
- HSN 39205112: “Of Acrylic Polymers: Of Poly (Methyl Methacrylate): Sheets :Flexible, Plain”
- HSN 39201092: “Of Polymers Of Ethylene: Sheets Of Polyethylene: Other : Flexible, Plain”
- HSN 39207392: “Of Cellulose Or Its Chemical Derivatives: Of Cellulose Acetate: Other :Flexible, Plain”
- HSN 39209922: “Of Other Plastics: Film, Sheets, Strip Of Vinyl Plastics : Flexible, Plain”
- HSN 39203020: “Of Polymers Of Styrene :Flexible, Plain”
- HSN 39209992: “Of Other Plastics: Other : Flexible, Plain”
- HSN 39205912: “Of Acrylic Polymers: Other : Polyacrylate Sheets:Flexible, Plain”
- HSN 39207220: “Of Cellulose Or Its Chemical Derivatives: Of Vulcanised Fibre :Flexible, Plain”
- HSN 39209912: “Of Other Plastics: Plates, Sheets, Film, Foil And Strip Of Poly(Vinyl Acetate) : Flexible, Plain”
- HSN 39209112: “Of Other Plastics: Of Poly (Vinyl Butyral): Flexible, Plain”
- HSN 39207992: “Of Cellulose Or Its Chemical Derivatives: Of Other Cellulose Derivatives : Other :Flexible, Plain”
- HSN 39209952: “Of Other Plastics: Retro Reflective Sheeting: Flexible, Plain”
Additionally, “Flexible, Metallised” sheets of regenerated cellulose are classified under HSN 39219034, and “Flexible, Lacquered” sheets of polymers of vinyl chloride under HSN 39219022. “Flexible” sheets of polyurethanes are under HSN 39211310, and “Flexible, Laminated” plastic sheets under HSN 39219096.
Determine the Uniform GST Rate for Flexible Plastics
Across all these HSN codes within Chapter 39 related to flexible plastic sheets and films, the GST rate is consistently 18%, effective from 01/07/2017.
Identify HSN Codes for Flexible Metal Tubing
The data also includes entries under Chapter 83, “Miscellaneous articles of base metal“:
- HSN 8307: Covers “Flexible Tubing Of Base Metal, With Or Without Fittings.”
- HSN 83071000: “Flexible Tubing Of Base Metal, With Or Without Fittings Of Iron Or Steel.”
- HSN 8307: (without specific sub-code) also listed.
- The GST rate for flexible tubing of base metal is 18%, effective from 01/07/2017.
Note Other Relevant Entries
- HSN 84433000: Covers “Printing Machinery Used For Printing By Means Of… Flexographic,” with an 18% GST rate (effective 15/11/2017 and 01/07/2017). This refers to machinery used to print on flexible materials.
- HSN 63053200: Covers “Sacks And Bags, Of A Kind Used For The Packing Of Goods Of Man-Made Textile Materials: Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers,” with an 18% GST rate (effective 01/01/2020 and 01/01/2019). This relates to flexible packaging.
