Exploring the Hardware Material HSN Code

The term “hardware material” encompasses a wide range of components and supplies used in construction, manufacturing, and various other applications. These materials can range from metal fasteners to plumbing fittings and structural elements. Consequently, there isn’t a single HSN code for “hardware material.” Instead, the classification depends on the specific type of material and its intended use. The provided data offers a glimpse into various HSN codes that could fall under the broad umbrella of hardware.

Based on the data, articles of iron or steel frequently constitute hardware materials and are primarily classified under Chapter 73:

  • 730900: Reservoirs, Tanks, Vats And Similar Containers For Any Material (Other Than Compressed Or Liquefied Gas), Of Iron Or Steel, Of A Capacity Exceeding 300 1 L, with an 18% GST rate (effective 01/07/2017). These could be used as hardware in industrial or construction settings.
  • 73021010: Railway Or Tramway Track Construction Material Of Iron Or Steel (rails, sleepers, fish-plates, etc.), with an 18% GST rate (effective 01/07/2017). While specific to railway construction, it highlights the classification of structural iron and steel.

Aluminium and articles thereof (Chapter 76) also feature as hardware materials:

  • 76121090: Aluminium Casks, Drums, Cans, Boxes And Similar Containers (capacity not exceeding 300 L), with an 18% GST rate (effective 01/07/2017). These can serve as hardware in various industries.

Other chapters and HSN codes in the data that relate to hardware or related components include:

  • 8484: Gaskets And Similar Joints Of Metal Sheeting Combined With Other Material; Mechanical Seals, under Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery…, with an 18% GST rate (effective 15/11/2017). Gaskets are essential hardware in machinery and plumbing.
  • 84632000: Thread Rolling Machines, under Chapter 84, with an 18% GST rate (effective 01/07/2017). These are machine tools used in hardware manufacturing.
  • 85471030: Insulating Fittings For Electrical Machines…, under Chapter 85: Electrical machinery…, with an 18% GST rate (effective 15/11/2017). These are crucial electrical hardware components.
  • 90014090: Optical Fibres And Optical Fibre Bundles; Optical Fibre Cables…, under Chapter 90: Optical, photographic… instruments…, with an 18% GST rate (effective 01/07/2017). These are specialized hardware in telecommunications.

The data also lists items that are not typically considered core “hardware material” but are related to construction or other applications where hardware is used:

  • Chapter 57: Carpets and other textile floor coverings.
  • Chapter 65: Headgear and parts thereof.
  • Chapter 94: Furniture and bedding components like mattress supports.
  • Chapter 59: Transmission or conveyor belts.

Therefore, identifying the HSN code for a specific piece of hardware material requires a precise understanding of its material composition (iron, steel, aluminium, etc.) and its intended function (containers, structural components, fasteners, fittings, etc.).
