The data clearly places hairpins within a broader category of hair accessories:
Other sub-categories within HSN 9615, such as combs and hair-slides (e.g., 96151100 for hard rubber or plastics, and 96151900 for other materials), also fall under the 12% GST rate.
It’s important to distinguish hairpins from other “hair” related items mentioned in the data, which refer to animal hair (Chapter 51), human hair products like wigs (Chapter 67), or hair preparations (Chapter 33). These have different HSN codes and GST rates and are not directly related to the accessory “hairpin.” Similarly, “hair clippers” (HSN 82142090) are cutlery tools, and “hair-springs” for watches (HSN 91141010) are precision parts, both distinct from hairpins as accessories.
Therefore, for hairpins as hair accessories, the most relevant and consistent HSN code is 96159000, subject to a 12% GST rate.
The primary HSN code for hairpins is 96159000.
The GST rate for hairpins (HSN 96159000) is 12%.
The 12% GST rate for hairpins became effective on July 1, 2017.
Preparations for use on the hair, such as hair oil or shampoo, fall under HSN 3305, with an 18% GST rate, and are distinct from physical hair accessories.
Using the correct HSN code ensures accurate GST calculation, proper invoicing, and compliance with tax regulations for businesses dealing in hairpins.
