Grinder HSN Code

Understanding the Grinder HSN Code for GST

If your business deals with grinders, understanding the relevant Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code is essential for GST compliance. Grinders, being versatile tools and appliances, fall under specific categories within the GST framework. Let’s explore the HSN codes and GST rates applicable to grinders based on the provided data.

The data indicates that grinders are primarily classified under Chapter 85 (Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers…) when they are electrical domestic appliances.

Electric Food Grinders (Chapter 85):

• 85094010: This HSN code specifically covers “Food Grinders” which are part of “Electro-Mechanical Domestic Appliances, With Self-Contained Electric Motor… – Food Grinders And Mixers; Fruit Or Vegetable Juice Extractors”. The GST rate for electric food grinders is 18% with no CESS, effective from 27/07/2018.
• 85094090: This HSN code covers “Other” appliances within the same category of “Food Grinders And Mixers; Fruit Or Vegetable Juice Extractors”. This could potentially include other types of electric grinders used in the kitchen. The GST rate is also 18% with no CESS, effective from 27/07/2018.
• 850940: This is a broader HSN code for “Food Grinders And Mixers; Fruit Or Vegetable Juice Extractors”. The GST rate is 18% with no CESS, effective from 27/07/2018.

Wet Grinders (Chapter 85):

• 8509omitted: The data mentions “Wet Grinder Consisting Of Stone As Grinder” under HSN code 8509omitted. This suggests that wet grinders are also classified under Chapter 85. However, the specific sub-code and GST rate are omitted in the provided data. Based on the other entries in Chapter 85 for similar domestic appliances, the rate is likely to be 18%. The effective date mentioned is 01/10/2019.

It’s important to note that the HSN code can vary based on the specific type and functionality of the grinder (e.g., food grinder vs. industrial grinder – though the latter isn’t explicitly covered in this data). For industrial grinders or other specialized types, further investigation into the GST tariff would be necessary.
