Grease HSN Codes: Lubricating Your Understanding of GST

The term “grease” appears in various contexts within the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN), leading to different classifications and Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates. This blog post breaks down the HSN codes associated with “grease” based on the provided data, clarifying the GST implications for each category.

Identify HSN Codes For Lubricating Grease

The most common association with “grease” is its use as a lubricant. These products fall under Chapter 34:

  • 34031100: Lubricating preparations based on mineral oils have a GST rate of 18% (effective from 15/11/2017).
  • 34039100: Other lubricating preparations containing petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous minerals have a GST rate of 18% (effective from 15/11/2017).
  • 34031900: Other lubricating preparations containing mineral oils have a GST rate of 18% (effective from 15/11/2017).
  • 34039900: Other lubricating preparations (not containing petroleum oils) have a GST rate of 18% (effective from 15/11/2017).
  • The broader heading 3403 also indicates a GST rate of 18% (effective from 15/11/2017) for lubricating preparations.

These codes cover a wide range of lubricating greases, all taxed at 18%.

Explore HSN Codes For Greaseproof Paper

Interestingly, “grease” also relates to paper products designed to resist grease:

  • 48062000: Greaseproof papers have a GST rate of 12% (effective from 01/07/2017).
  • The broader heading 4806 also indicates a GST rate of 18% (effective from 01/07/2017) for vegetable parchment, greaseproof papers, tracing papers, and glassine. Specific subcategories like 48061000 (Vegetable Parchment) and 48064090 (Other Glassine papers) also have an 18% GST rate.

This highlights a completely different application of the term “grease” in the context of paper manufacturing.

Identify HSN Codes For Wool Grease (Lanolin)

Another category related to “grease” is wool grease, also known as lanolin, which falls under Chapter 15:

  • Various HSN codes under 1505 cover wool grease and fatty substances derived therefrom, including crude wool grease (15050020), other wool grease (15050090, 150500), and wool alcohol (including lanolin alcohol) (15050010). All these have a GST rate of 12% (effective from 01/07/2017).

Wool grease represents a natural form of grease with different applications and a different GST rate compared to lubricating greases.

Note HSN Codes For Related Items

The data also includes items where “grease” is part of a component or related tool:

  • 86071930: Axle boxes (lubricating or grease box) for railway or tramway locomotives have a GST rate of 18% (effective from 01/10/2019).
  • 84678910: Compressed air grease guns, lubricators, and similar appliances have a GST rate of 18% (effective from 01/07/2017).

These are not grease itself but items that use or dispense it.

Understand Varying GST Rates Based On Context

The GST rate for items associated with “grease” varies significantly based on the product’s nature and application. Lubricating greases are taxed at 18%. Greaseproof papers have a GST rate of 12% or 18% depending on the specific type. Wool grease (lanolin) and its derivatives are taxed at 12%. Components like grease boxes for railways and grease guns also fall under the 18% GST rate.
