Understanding the Hair Dye HSN Code
Hair dye is a booming industry, with consumers seeking to express themselves through vibrant colors or cover greys. For manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of hair dye in India, knowing the correct HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code is not just a matter of compliance, but also ensures smooth operations and accurate GST (Goods and Services Tax) calculations.
The term “hair dye” specifically refers to preparations designed to alter hair color. This distinguishes it from other hair care products like shampoos, conditioners, or styling agents. Let’s delve into the specific HSN code for hair dye and its applicable GST rate.
Identifying the Hair Dye HSN Code
Hair dyes are classified under Chapter 33 of the HSN, which encompasses “Essential oils and resinoids; perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations.” Within this chapter, the relevant heading is 3305: “Preparations for use on the hair.”
More precisely, the HSN code for hair dyes, whether natural, herbal, or synthetic, is:
- Preparations For Use On The Hair Other: Hair Dyes (Natural, Herbal Or Synthetic)
- HSN Code: 33059040
This specific eight-digit code ensures that all types of hair coloring products, regardless of their chemical composition or origin (as long as they are for dyeing hair), are categorized uniformly for taxation purposes. It explicitly differentiates hair dyes from other hair preparations like hair oils, shampoos, or hair creams, which have their own distinct sub-headings under HSN 3305.
Applying GST Rates to Hair Dye
The GST rate for hair dyes (HSN 33059040) in India is 18%.
This rate has been consistently applied since the initial implementation of GST on July 1, 2017, and was reaffirmed with revisions on November 15, 2017. Hair dyes, along with many other cosmetic and grooming products, are generally considered non-essential or value-added goods under the GST framework, leading to this higher tax slab compared to daily necessities. There are no additional CESS charges typically associated with this HSN code.
Businesses dealing with hair dye can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on their purchases, which helps in offsetting their overall tax liability. Understanding this classification is key for accurate invoicing, stock management, and overall GST compliance within the beauty and personal care industry.
