Understanding the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code for flex printing is important for businesses in the printing and advertising sectors. This classification helps determine the applicable Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate in India. Let’s explore the relevant HSN codes and GST implications for flex printing based on the provided data.
The provided data primarily focuses on printing machinery and related items, which are essential for flex printing but don’t directly classify the printed flex itself as a product. The relevant HSN codes from the data pertain to:
These codes largely cover the machinery involved in the flex printing process. The data also includes HSN codes for printing inks under Chapter 32:
Additionally, certain types of uncoated paper used in printing are listed under Chapter 48, with a GST rate of 12%. However, flex material itself, typically PVC or other plastics, and the final printed flex product are not explicitly classified in this dataset.
Based on general GST classifications, printed products often fall under Chapter 49 (Printed books, newspapers, pictures and other products of the printing industry). However, this specific data doesn’t provide a direct HSN code for the final “flex printing” output.
The service of “Other Manufacturing Services; Publishing, Printing And Reproduction Services” is mentioned under HSN code 9989 with an 18% GST rate. This likely covers the job work of flex printing.
Based on the provided data:
Without a specific HSN code for the final printed flex product in this dataset, we can infer that the service of flex printing likely falls under the 18% GST rate for printing and reproduction services. The inputs like printing machinery and inks also attract an 18% GST.
Printing machinery is mainly covered under HSN Chapter 84.
The GST rate for most printing machinery is 18%.
The GST rate for printing inks is 18%.
The GST rate for these services is 18%.
The service of flex printing likely falls under HSN code 9989 for printing and reproduction services.
The current GST rates have been effective since July 1, 2017, with some machinery updates on November 15, 2017.
