Understanding the HSN Code for Glass Paper weights
A humble yet elegant desk accessory, the glass paperweight serves both a practical purpose and an aesthetic one, often being a decorative item or even a collectible work of art. For businesses dealing with these charming objects in India, understanding the correct HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code and the applicable GST (Goods and Services Tax) rate is key to smooth trade and compliance.
The classification of a “glass paperweight” can be nuanced, as the term “paperweight” might apply to items made from various materials, and the term “glass” can appear in descriptions of many different products. However, the data points us directly to the relevant HSN chapter for ornamental glass articles.
The HSN Code for Glass Paperweights
The primary HSN classification for a glass paperweight, when it functions as an ornamental article, falls under Chapter 70: “Glass and glassware.”
More specifically, within this chapter, ornamental glassware intended for office or indoor decoration is generally categorized under HSN Heading 7013: “Glassware of a kind used for table, kitchen, toilet, office, indoor decoration or similar purposes (other than that of heading 7010 or 7018).”
The data explicitly mentions:
- 70139900: “Glassware Of A Kind Used For Toilet, Office, Indoor Decoration Or Similar Purposes (Excl. Glassware Of Lead Crystal Or Of A Kind Used For Table Or Kitchen Purposes, Articles Of Heading 7018, Mirrors, Leaded Lights And The Like, Lighting Fittings And Parts Thereof, Atomizers For Perfume And The Like) View Duty.” This sub-heading is the most appropriate for a general glass paperweight.
While the provided data also shows 6802 (“Statues, Statuettes, Pedestals; High Or Low Reliefs, Crosses, Figures Of Animals, Bowls, Vases, Cups, Cachou Boxes, Writing Sets, Ashtrays, Paper Weights, Artificial Fruit And Foliage, Etc.; Other Ornamental Goods Essentially Of Stone”), this code is specifically for ornamental goods essentially of stone. Therefore, a glass paperweight, being primarily of glass, would not fall under HSN 6802 despite the word “paper weights” in its description.
Similarly, other HSN codes in the provided data, like those for abrasive paper (68052030), polishes for glass (3405), paper yarn (5310), or various types of paperboard (4804), are clearly for different products or materials and should not be confused with a glass paperweight.
GST Rate for Glass Paperweights
Based on the provided information, a glass paperweight classified under HSN 70139900 is subject to an 18% GST rate. This rate became effective on July 1, 2017. There is no additional cess mentioned for this item.
It’s important for businesses to correctly identify the material composition of the paperweight. While paperweights made of stone might have a different rate, those made of glass specifically align with the ornamental glassware category.
