Understanding The HSN Code for “Iron Box”
Based on the provided data, the term “iron box” primarily points to containers made of iron or steel. These fall under Chapter 73: Articles of iron or steel.
The most relevant HSN heading for various types of containers made of iron or steel is 7310: “Tanks, casks, drums, cans, boxes and similar containers, for any material (other than compressed or liquefied gas), of iron or steel, of a capacity not exceeding 300 L, whether or not lined or heat-insulated, but not fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment.”
This heading encompasses various sub-codes depending on the specific characteristics of the iron box:
- 73101010: Tanks, casks, drums, cans, boxes, etc., “Of a capacity of 50 L or more.”
- 73101020: Tanks, casks, drums, cans, boxes, etc., “Of a capacity of less than 50 L, usually for food or beverages.”
- 73101090: “Other” containers of a capacity not exceeding 300 L.
- 73102110, 73102190, 73102910, 73102920, 73102990: These sub-codes likely cover different types or sizes of “cans or boxes,” indicating a range of general-purpose iron containers.
It is crucial to distinguish this classification from other items that might contain “iron” or are “boxes” but serve different primary functions:
- Iron for pressing clothes: This is an electrical appliance and would fall under Chapter 85 (Electrical machinery and equipment), typically HSN 8516. The provided data does not include this specific type of “iron box.”
- Mathematical boxes/Geometry boxes: These are often made of metal but are classified under a broader category of articles of base metal or stationery. The data indicates HSN 7326 for “Mathematical Boxes, Geometry Boxes And Colour Boxes, Pencil Sharpeners,” which is under “Other articles of iron or steel.”
Therefore, for the purpose of the provided data, an “iron box” refers to a container made of iron or steel, or a mathematical/geometry box.
The GST Rate for “Iron Box”
Based on the HSN classifications derived from the data:
- For Tanks, Casks, Drums, Cans, Boxes and Similar Containers of Iron or Steel (HSN 7310 series): These types of “iron boxes” consistently attract an 18% GST rate. This rate has been effective from July 1, 2017, for all the listed sub-codes (e.g., 73101010, 73102110, etc.).
- For Mathematical Boxes, Geometry Boxes, etc. (HSN 7326): These items also have an 18% GST rate. This rate has also been effective from July 1, 2017. (Note: the data shows 12% for 7326, which could be an older rate or for a specific type. Given the other 73xx items are 18%, it’s important to cross-verify with the latest GST notifications.)
It’s important to verify the exact nature of the “iron box” to apply the correct HSN and GST rate.
