Instant coffee powder is a staple in many households, and for businesses that manufacture or sell it, knowing the correct HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code is essential. The HSN code, an internationally recognized system for classifying goods, helps ensure accurate GST (Goods and Services Tax) compliance in India.
Instant coffee powder is classified under HSN Chapter 21, which covers “Miscellaneous edible preparations.” The primary HSN code for instant coffee and related products is 2101. This heading specifically includes “Extracts, essences and concentrates, of coffee.”
For unflavored instant coffee powder, the more specific HSN code is 21011120. This code is for “Instant coffee, not flavoured” and is widely used for standard coffee powder products. If the instant coffee is flavored, it would fall under a different HSN sub-code.
The GST rate on instant coffee powder is 12%. This rate applies to both flavored and unflavored varieties and is distinct from the GST rate on raw coffee beans or other coffee products, which may have a different rate.
It’s crucial to understand the difference in HSN codes and GST rates for various coffee products:
Using the correct HSN code ensures accurate tax calculation and compliance with GST laws.
The primary HSN code for instant coffee powder is 2101.
The specific HSN code is 21011120.
Instant coffee is covered under Chapter 21, for miscellaneous edible preparations.
Flavored instant coffee is classified under a different HSN sub-code, typically 21011110.
Instant coffee is a “preparation” or “extract” and is therefore classified under the chapter for prepared foodstuffs.
