Understanding the HSN Code for Insulation Tape
Insulation tape is a ubiquitous item, found in almost every toolkit and used across countless industries. From electrical repairs to DIY projects, its adhesive and insulating properties are invaluable. But if you deal with insulation tape commercially, you might be wondering about its HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code and the associated GST rates. Understanding this classification is crucial for proper invoicing, taxation, and compliance.
The HSN code system, an internationally recognized product numbering system, helps classify goods for customs and taxation purposes. While the provided data touches upon various HSN codes, pinpointing the exact one for “insulation tape” specifically can be a bit tricky, as its classification often depends on its primary material composition.
Understanding HSN Codes for Tapes
Based on the provided data, we can infer that different types of tapes fall under various HSN classifications depending on their material. For instance:
- Self-adhesive tapes of plastics are generally categorized under Chapter 39, Plastics and articles thereof, with an HSN code like 39199090. This particular code has a GST rate of 18%. This is a strong contender for many common electrical insulation tapes, which are often made of PVC or other plastics.
- Rubberised textile fabrics, specifically adhesive tape of a width not exceeding 20 cm, fall under Chapter 59, Impregnated, coated, covered or laminated textile fabrics; textile articles of a kind suitable for industrial use, with HSN code 59061000. The GST rate for this is 12%. This classification would apply to insulation tapes with a textile base coated with rubber.
Why Material Matters for HSN Classification
The key takeaway here is that the HSN code for “insulation tape” isn’t a single, universal code. Instead, it’s determined by the material from which the tape is primarily made. For example, a PVC-based electrical insulation tape will likely have a different HSN code than a fabric-based friction tape.
When identifying the correct HSN code for your specific insulation tape, consider its core material. This will guide you to the appropriate chapter and subsequent HSN code within the Indian GST framework. Proper classification ensures you apply the correct GST rate and maintain compliance with tax regulations.
Navigating GST for Related Services
It’s also worth noting that the provided data includes “Insulation Services” under HSN code 995465 with varying GST rates (1.5%/5%/7.5%/12%/18%) depending on specific conditions and certifications. This is relevant if you are not just selling insulation tape but also providing insulation installation services. These services have their own complex set of conditions, particularly concerning construction projects, affordable housing, and input tax credit regulations.
