Understand Iron Sheets HSN Codes and GST Rates

Understanding the correct HSN code and GST rate for iron sheets is crucial for businesses involved in the iron and steel trade in India. The Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) is a globally recognized system for classifying goods, and it plays a vital role in determining the applicable GST (Goods and Services Tax) for products. This guide breaks down the HSN codes and GST rates for various types of iron sheets.

The Right HSN Code for Your Iron Sheets

The HSN codes for flat-rolled products of iron and non-alloy steel, which include iron sheets, typically fall under Chapter 72 of the HSN. The specific code depends on factors like the manufacturing process (hot-rolled or cold-rolled), width, thickness, and whether the sheet is clad, plated, or coated.

Here is a breakdown of the HSN codes and their corresponding GST rates:

Hot-Rolled Iron Sheets: These sheets are rolled at high temperatures. The HSN code varies based on thickness and form.
- HSN 72085330: For hot-rolled, non-clad, plated, or coated sheets with a width of 600 mm or more, not in coils, and a thickness of 3 mm or more but less than 4.75 mm.
- HSN 72085130: For hot-rolled, non-clad, plated, or coated sheets with a width of 600 mm or more, not in coils, and a thickness exceeding 10 mm.
- HSN 72082730: For hot-rolled, non-clad, plated, or coated sheets with a width of 600 mm or more, in coils, pickled, and a thickness of less than 3 mm.
- HSN 72083830: For hot-rolled, non-clad, plated, or coated sheets with a width of 600 mm or more, in coils, and a thickness of 3 mm or more but less than 4.75 mm.
- HSN 72082630: For hot-rolled, non-clad, plated, or coated sheets with a width of 600 mm or more, in coils, pickled, and a thickness of 3 mm or more but less than 4.75 mm.
- HSN 72084030: For hot-rolled, non-clad, plated, or coated sheets with a width of 600 mm or more, not in coils, with patterns in relief.
- HSN 72082530: For hot-rolled, non-clad, plated, or coated sheets with a width of 600 mm or more, in coils, pickled, and a thickness of 4.75 mm or more.
- HSN 72083630: For hot-rolled, non-clad, plated, or coated sheets with a width of 600 mm or more, in coils, and a thickness exceeding 10 mm.
- HSN 72083730: For hot-rolled, non-clad, plated, or coated sheets with a width of 600 mm or more, in coils, and a thickness of 4.75 mm or more but not exceeding 10 mm.
- HSN 72111440: For hot-rolled, non-clad, plated, or coated sheets with a width of less than 600 mm and a thickness of 4.75 mm or more.
- HSN 72111940: For other hot-rolled, non-clad, plated, or coated sheets with a width of less than 600 mm.
Cold-Rolled Iron Sheets: These sheets are rolled at room temperature, resulting in a smoother finish.
- HSN 72092520: For cold-rolled, non-clad, plated, or coated sheets with a width of 600 mm or more, not in coils, and a thickness of 3 mm or more.
- HSN 72091520: For cold-rolled, non-clad, plated, or coated sheets with a width of 600 mm or more, in coils, and a thickness of 3 mm or more.
- HSN 72092820: For cold-rolled, non-clad, plated, or coated sheets with a width of 600 mm or more, not in coils, and a thickness of less than 0.5 mm.
- HSN 72091620: For cold-rolled, non-clad, plated, or coated sheets with a width of 600 mm or more, in coils, and a thickness exceeding 1 mm but less than 3 mm.
- HSN 72091820: For cold-rolled, non-clad, plated, or coated sheets with a width of 600 mm or more, in coils, and a thickness of less than 0.5 mm.
- HSN 72112340: For cold-rolled, non-clad, plated, or coated sheets with a width of less than 600 mm and containing less than 0.25% carbon by weight.
- HSN 72112940: For other cold-rolled, non-clad, plated, or coated sheets with a width of less than 600 mm.
Stainless Steel Sheets: These are classified under a different heading within Chapter 72.
- HSN 72199012: For flat-rolled stainless steel products with a width of 600 mm or more, and a thickness of 3 mm to 4.75 mm.
- HSN 72199013: For flat-rolled stainless steel products with a width of 600 mm or more, and a thickness of less than 3 mm.

Understand the GST Rates

All the mentioned HSN codes for iron and stainless steel sheets are subject to an 18% GST rate. This rate has been in effect since July 1, 2017, and applies to the majority of flat-rolled iron and steel products.

FAQs

What is an HSN code?

The HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) is a six-digit code used internationally to classify products for customs and tax purposes.

Why do I need an HSN code for iron sheets?

You need the HSN code to determine the correct GST rate and to file your GST returns in India.

What is the GST rate for iron sheets?

The GST rate for most iron sheets is 18%.

Does the GST rate change based on the sheet’s thickness?

No, the GST rate for these products remains 18% regardless of the thickness, as long as they fall under the specified HSN codes.

What is the HSN chapter for iron and steel products?

Iron and steel products, including sheets, are classified under Chapter 72 of the HSN.

When did the current GST rate for iron sheets become effective?

The 18% GST rate became effective on July 1, 2017.
