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.
The most common association with “grease” is its use as a lubricant. These products fall under Chapter 34:
These codes cover a wide range of lubricating greases, all taxed at 18%.
Interestingly, “grease” also relates to paper products designed to resist grease:
This highlights a completely different application of the term “grease” in the context of paper manufacturing.
Another category related to “grease” is wool grease, also known as lanolin, which falls under Chapter 15:
Wool grease represents a natural form of grease with different applications and a different GST rate compared to lubricating greases.
The data also includes items where “grease” is part of a component or related tool:
These are not grease itself but items that use or dispense it.
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.
Lubricating greases (falling under HSN code 3403) have a GST rate of 18%.
Greaseproof papers (HSN code 48062000) have a GST rate of 12%.
No, wool grease and its derivatives (HSN code 1505) have a GST rate of 12%, while lubricating greases (HSN code 3403) are taxed at 18%.
Compressed air grease guns (HSN code 84678910) have a GST rate of 18%.
The GST rates for most of the listed grease-related products have been effective from 01/07/2017. Lubricating preparations had their rates effective from 15/11/2017, and axle boxes had their rate effective from 01/10/2019.
