Understand Flex Printing HSN Code and GST Rate

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.

Identify HSN Codes Related to Flex Printing

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:

  • 84435910: Other printing machinery used for printing by means of printing type, blocks, plates, cylinders, and other printing components of heading 8442; ink-jet printing machines (other than those of heading 8471); machines for uses ancillary to printing.
  • 84425050: Machinery, apparatus, and equipment for preparing or making plates, printing components; plates, cylinders, and other printing components; plates, cylinders, and lithographic stones, prepared for printing.
  • 84439920: Printing machinery used for printing by means of plates, cylinders, and other printing components of heading 8442.
  • 84436090: Other printing machinery used for printing by means of printing type, blocks, plates, cylinders, and other printing components of heading 8442; ink-jet printing machines (other than those of heading 8471); machines for uses ancillary to printing.
  • 84439990: Printing machinery used for printing by means of plates, cylinders, and other printing components of heading 8442.
  • 84424000: Machinery, apparatus, and equipment for preparing or making plates, printing components; plates, cylinders, and other printing components; plates, cylinders, and lithographic stones, prepared for printing.
  • 84439951: Other parts and accessories of printing machinery used for printing by means of plates, cylinders, and other printing components of heading 8442.

These codes largely cover the machinery involved in the flex printing process. The data also includes HSN codes for printing inks under Chapter 32:

  • 32151130: Printing ink, black, rotary ink.
  • 32159010: Other printing inks, fountain pen ink.

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.

Determine Applicable GST Rate on Flex Printing Services and Inputs

Based on the provided data:

  • The GST rate for most printing machinery and related equipment (Chapter 84) is 18%.
  • The GST rate for printing inks (Chapter 32) is 18%.
  • The GST rate for certain uncoated paper used in printing (Chapter 48) is 12%.
  • The GST rate for printing and reproduction services (HSN 9989) is 18%.

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.
