Understanding the Hair Band HSN Code
Hair bands, a ubiquitous accessory, come in countless styles, materials, and designs, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes. For businesses dealing with hair bands in India, understanding their Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code is essential for correct Goods and Services Tax (GST) compliance. The HSN classification for hair bands is surprisingly specific, often highlighting the material and construction.
This blog post will clarify the HSN code for hair bands, based on the provided data, and distinguish them from other “hair”-related items.
The Hair Band HSN Code
The provided data directly specifies an HSN code for a particular type of hair band under Chapter 58: Special woven fabrics; tufted textile fabrics; lace; tapestries; trimmings; embroidery. This chapter covers textile articles that have specific woven structures or are considered trimmings and similar articles.
- Braids In The Piece; Ornamental Trimmings In The Piece… – Other: Hair Band Of Narrow Fabrics: HSN 58089020. This is the explicit HSN code for hair bands specifically made of narrow fabrics. It carries a 5% GST rate, effective from September 22, 2017.
This entry clearly identifies a common type of hair band and its applicable GST rate. The term “narrow fabrics” indicates that these are typically woven or braided strips, commonly used for hair bands, headbands, and other textile trimmings.
Distinguishing Hair Bands from Other “Hair” Related HSNs
The data also includes many other items related to “hair,” but these are distinct from hair bands:
- Wool, Fine or Coarse Animal Hair; Horsehair Yarn and Woven Fabric (Chapter 51): This chapter deals with raw wool, animal hair, and fabrics made from them. HSNs like 51122040 (Woven Fabrics of Combed Wool), 51031090 (Waste of Wool), 51021190 (Fine Animal Hair), 51099000 (Yarn of Wool), 51111990, 51119090, 51115% all relate to the raw material or basic textile forms, not finished hair accessories. These generally have a 5% GST rate, with some waste products at Nil.
- Articles of Apparel and Clothing Accessories (Chapter 61 & 62): These chapters cover garments and clothing accessories. HSNs like 62033100 (Men’s Jackets of Wool), 62091000 (Babies Garments of Wool), 62044190 (Women’s Dresses of Wool), and 61079920 (Men’s Underpants of Wool) refer to clothing items made from wool or animal hair, not hair bands. These usually have a 12% GST rate.
- Prepared Feathers and Down and Articles of Human Hair (Chapter 67):
- Wigs, False Beards, Eyebrows And Eyelashes, Switches And The Like, Of Human Or Animal Hair Or Of Textile Materials; Articles Of Human Hair Not Elsewhere Specified Or Included – Of Synthetic Textile Materials: HSN 670418%. This specifically covers wigs and artificial hair products, which are very different from hair bands. This attracts an 18% GST rate.
- Products of Animal Origin (Chapter 05): HSN 05079010 (Hoof Meal) relates to animal by-products and has no GST.
- Raw Hides and Skins (Chapter 41): HSN 41044100 (Tanned Hides without Hair) refers to processed animal skins, not hair accessories. It has a 5% GST rate.
- Cutlery (Chapter 82): HSN 82142090 (“Hair Clippers” mentioned as an example) covers tools, not hair accessories. It has an 18% GST rate.
- Essential Oils, Perfumery, Cosmetic or Toilet Preparations (Chapter 33): HSN 33059090 (Preparations For Use On The Hair Other: Other) covers hair care products like shampoos or conditioners, not physical hair bands. This has an 18% GST rate.
- Man-made Staple Fibres (Chapter 55): HSN 55151390 (Woven Fabrics of Synthetic Staple Fibres mixed with Wool or Fine Animal Hair) refers to fabric, not finished hair accessories. It has a 5% GST rate.
- Clocks and Watches (Chapter 91): HSN 91141010 (Springs, Including Hair-Springs: For Watches) refers to tiny springs used in watches. It has an 18% GST rate.
- Electrical Machinery and Equipment (Chapter 85): HSN 85167910 (Electrothermic Hair-Dressing Apparatus – Hair Dryers, Hair Curlers) covers electrical styling tools, not passive hair bands. This attracts an 18% GST rate.
In summary, for physical hair bands made of narrow fabrics, the HSN code is specifically 58089020, with a 5% GST rate. Other items containing the word “hair” in their description fall under entirely different HSN chapters based on their material and function. Always classify based on the exact nature of the product.
