Garlic powder, a staple in kitchens worldwide, offers a convenient way to add the pungent flavor of garlic to various dishes. For businesses involved in the production, trade, or import of this popular spice, understanding its HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code is essential for accurate GST (Goods and Services Tax) compliance in India.
While the term “powder” can apply to many substances, the HSN classification for garlic powder specifically identifies it as a dried vegetable product. Let’s explore the relevant HSN code and its corresponding GST rate.
Garlic powder falls under Chapter 07 of the HSN, which covers “Edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers.” More precisely, it is classified under Heading 0712: “Dried vegetables, whole, cut, sliced, broken or in powder, but not further prepared.”
The most specific and accurate HSN code for garlic powder is:
This HSN code clearly defines garlic powder as a “dried vegetable” that has been processed into powder form, but not further prepared (meaning it hasn’t been mixed with other ingredients to form a condiment blend, for example). Other related garlic products, such as dehydrated garlic flakes (07129030) and dried garlic (07129040), are also found within this same heading, emphasizing the core classification of garlic as a vegetable.
It’s important to note that while other “powder” forms exist in different HSN chapters (like cocoa powder, metallic powders, or chemical powders), only HSN 07129020 specifically refers to garlic powder derived from dried vegetables.
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate for dehydrated garlic powder (HSN 07129020) in India is 5%.
This rate has been consistently applied since the implementation of GST on July 1, 2017. The lower GST rate for dried vegetables, including garlic powder, reflects their status as essential food items. There are no CESS charges applicable to garlic powder.
This classification and rate ensure that garlic powder, a fundamental ingredient in many cuisines, remains accessible and appropriately taxed within the Indian market.
The HSN code for dehydrated garlic powder is 07129020.
The GST rate for garlic powder is 5%.
Yes, dehydrated garlic flakes have a distinct HSN code of 07129030, but share the 5% GST rate.
If garlic powder is a component of a mixed condiment or seasoning, the HSN code might shift to Chapter 21 (e.g., 21039090 for mixed condiments) and could attract a higher GST rate (e.g., 12%).
Yes, fresh garlic (unprocessed) is also classified under Chapter 07, typically HSN 0703.
