Understanding the Glass Cleaner HSN Code
A gleaming, streak-free surface is a hallmark of cleanliness, and glass cleaners are the unsung heroes that make it happen. For businesses involved in the manufacturing, distribution, or sale of these essential cleaning products in India, pinpointing the correct HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code is crucial for accurate GST (Goods and Services Tax) compliance.
While glass itself (windows, bottles, etc.) falls under Chapter 70, the cleaner used to make it shine is classified under a different category, specifically recognizing its chemical composition as a cleaning preparation.
The Glass Cleaner HSN Code
Glass cleaners, by their nature, are preparations designed to clean and polish surfaces. This places them squarely in Chapter 34: 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 o.
Within this broad chapter, the most relevant HSN heading for glass cleaners, as indicated by the provided data, is:
- HSN Code 3405: This specific heading covers “Polishes And Creams, For Footwear, Furniture, Floors, Coachwork, Glass Or Metal, Scouring Pastes And Powders And Similar Preparations (Whether Or Not In The Form Of Paper, Wadding, Felt, Nonwovens, Cellular Plastics Or Cellular Rubber, Impregnated, Coated, Covered Or Laminated With Such Preparations)”.
The description explicitly includes “Glass” as a surface for which these polishing and cleaning preparations are intended, making HSN 3405 the precise classification for glass cleaners.
GST Rate for Glass Cleaner
The GST rate applicable to glass cleaners, classified under HSN Code 3405, is 18%. This rate has been in effect since July 1, 2017, aligning with the broader categories of polishing and scouring preparations. There is no CESS typically levied on these products.
Why Accurate HSN Classification is Paramount
- Ensuring Financial Accuracy: Correctly applying the HSN code guarantees that you charge and remit the precise amount of GST, avoiding any discrepancies or potential penalties.
- Facilitating Input Tax Credit (ITC): Proper classification is key to smoothly claiming Input Tax Credit on your purchases, which directly impacts your business’s profitability.
- Streamlining Business Operations: Accurate HSN codes aid in faster customs clearance for imported or exported cleaning products and minimize logistical hurdles.
- Upholding Regulatory Compliance: Adhering to the HSN framework demonstrates your commitment to tax laws, which is essential for maintaining a strong and compliant business standing during audits.
