Understanding the Floor Cleaner HSN Code

A clean floor is often the hallmark of a well-maintained space, whether it’s a home, office, or commercial establishment. Floor cleaners are essential for achieving this, but for businesses involved in their manufacturing, distribution, or sale in India, understanding the correct HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code is crucial for seamless GST (Goods and Services Tax) compliance. The “Floor cleaner HSN Code” primarily falls under a specific chapter related to cleaning preparations, but it’s important to differentiate it from other “floor” related items like floor coverings or fans.

Cleaning Preparations: Chapter 34 is Key

The primary classification for most liquid or gel-based floor cleaners falls under Chapter 34 of the HSN system. This chapter broadly covers “Soap, organic surface-active agents, washing preparations, lubricating preparations, artificial waxes, prepared waxes, polishing or scouring preparations, candles and similar articles, modelling pastes, dental waxes and dental preparations with a basis of plaster.”

Specifically, within this chapter, the relevant HSN heading is 3402: “Organic surface-active agents (other than soap), surface-active preparations, washing preparations (including auxiliary washing preparations) and cleaning preparations, whether or not containing soap, other than those of heading 3401.”

  • HSN 34029099: This is a common code for “Other” cleaning preparations not specified elsewhere under HSN 3402. This broadly covers various types of liquid floor cleaners, including disinfectants.
  • HSN 34013090: While this code is primarily for “Organic surface-active products and preparations for use as soap… in the form of liquid or cream,” some floor cleaner products, especially those with a strong soap base or skin-washing properties, might fall here.

Most floor cleaners under HSN 3402 and 3401 generally attract an 18% GST rate, effective from November 15, 2017 (originally from July 1, 2017).

Distinguishing “Floor Cleaner” from “Floor” Articles

It’s crucial not to confuse floor cleaning preparations with other items that have “floor” in their description but belong to entirely different HSN chapters:

  • Floor Coverings (Carpets, Mats, etc.): These fall under Chapter 57: “Carpets and other textile floor coverings.” Examples include HSN 5702 for woven carpets or HSN 5705 for other textile floor coverings like jute or coir mats. These typically have a 12% GST rate, with some coir mats at 5%.
  • Floor Fans: These are classified under Chapter 84: “Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof.” Specifically, HSN 841451 refers to “Table, floor, wall, window, ceiling or roof fans.” These also carry an 18% GST rate.
  • Floor Sweepers and Mops (Hand-operated): These are under Chapter 96: “Miscellaneous manufactured articles,” specifically HSN 96031000 for brooms and hand-operated mechanical floor sweepers, and HSN 96033090 for other brushes and mops. These typically have a 5% or 18% GST rate depending on the specific item.
  • Rubber Floor Coverings and Mats: These are classified under Chapter 40: “Rubber and articles thereof,” with HSN 40169100 for “Floor coverings and mats” of vulcanized rubber. These also attract an 18% GST rate.

The key takeaway is that the term “Floor cleaner” almost exclusively refers to the cleaning chemical itself, not the items being cleaned or the tools used for cleaning the floor.
