Hinges HSN Code

Understand the HSN Code for Hinges

The Harmonized System Nomenclature (HSN) code is a vital component of India’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) system. It provides a standardized classification for goods, ensuring uniformity in tax application. If your business involves hinges, understanding their specific HSN code and the applicable GST rate is essential for compliance.

Discover the GST Rate for Hinges

Based on the provided data, hinges are primarily classified under Chapter 83: Miscellaneous articles of base metal. Specifically:

• Hinges are listed under HSN code 830210 with a GST rate of 18%. This rate became effective on November 15, 2017.

This classification clearly covers hinges made of base metal, which are the most common type used in various applications.

Explore Hinges Made of Other Materials

The data also mentions hinges in the context of plastics under Chapter 39: Plastics and articles thereof:

• Lasts, With Or Without Steel Hinges are included under HSN codes 39269031 (Of Polyurethane Foam) and 39269039 (Other), both with an 18% GST rate, effective from July 1, 2017, with a revision on November 15, 2017.

This indicates that even when hinges are integrated with plastic products like lasts (used in shoemaking), they still attract an 18% GST rate. The material of the hinge itself (steel in this case) doesn’t seem to alter the GST rate of the composite article.
