Jute, often called the “golden fiber,” plays a significant role in various industries, from packaging to home furnishings. For businesses dealing with jute and its products in India, understanding the correct HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) codes and their associated GST rates is crucial for seamless operations and compliance. The HSN system categorizes products globally, making international trade and taxation transparent.
Our deep dive into the HSN codes for jute reveals a diverse range of classifications, each with a specific GST rate. Raw or processed jute fibers, like “Jute, Raw Or Retted” and “Jute Cutting,” typically fall under Chapter 53, attracting a 5% GST rate. This lower rate encourages the primary processing of this natural fiber.
As jute transforms into finished goods, the HSN codes and GST rates can change. For instance, woven fabrics of jute, such as “Sacking Fabrics” and “Carpet Backing Fabrics,” also generally remain at a 5% GST under Chapter 53. However, products like “Sacks And Bags” made from jute (Chapter 63) are often subject to an 18% GST, reflecting their status as more processed or value-added articles. Similarly, “Jute Tarpaulins” (Chapter 63) are taxed at 12%, while certain “Jute Carpets” (Chapter 57) also see a 12% rate. Even specialized items like “Artificial Flowers… Of Jute” (Chapter 67) carry an 18% GST.
This variation underscores the importance of precise classification. Businesses must identify the exact nature and form of their jute product to apply the correct HSN code and GST rate, ensuring accurate invoicing and adherence to the tax framework.
Raw or processed jute fibers generally fall under HSN Chapter 53.
Raw jute, such as “Jute, Raw Or Retted” (HSN 53031010), typically has a 5% GST rate.
Jute sacking bags (HSN 63051040) are generally subject to an 18% GST rate.
Woven fabrics of jute, such as “Sacking Fabrics” (HSN 53101012), typically fall under HSN Chapter 53 and have a 5% GST rate.
