Understand the Right HSN Code for Lime Products
Lime is a versatile and essential mineral product used in various industries, from construction to agriculture and chemical manufacturing. For businesses dealing with lime, understanding the correct HSN code is critical for GST compliance and accurate invoicing. Let’s explore the HSN codes and GST rates for different types of lime.
Classify Your Lime Products
The HSN codes for lime fall under Chapter 25, which is dedicated to “Salt; sulphur; earths and stone; plastering materials, lime and cement.” The specific code depends on the type and form of the lime.
- Quicklime, Slaked Lime, and Hydraulic Lime: This is the primary category for lime used in construction and industrial applications.
- 25223000 is the HSN code for Hydraulic Lime.
- While not explicitly listed in your data, quicklime and slaked lime have their own HSN codes within the same heading, such as 25221000 for Quicklime and 25222000 for Slaked Lime, as per the HSN classification structure.
- Limestone: The raw material used to manufacture lime is classified under HSN 2521. This includes limestone flux used for the manufacture of lime or cement.
Understand the Applicable GST Rate
The GST rate for most forms of lime, including quicklime, slaked lime, and hydraulic lime, is 5%. This concessional rate has been in effect since July 1, 2017, and applies across various subheadings of HSN 2522.
The same 5% GST rate applies to limestone flux and other calcareous stones used in the manufacturing of lime or cement, falling under HSN 2521.
HSN Code Confusion
The term “lime” can be a source of confusion because it appears in different contexts within the HSN system. It is crucial to distinguish between:
- Lime (Mineral Product): This is the lime used in construction and chemical industries, classified under Chapter 25.
- Limed Hides and Skins: The data includes HSN codes under Chapter 41 for “raw hides and skins (fresh… limed…).” Here, “limed” refers to a preservation process using lime, not the sale of the lime itself.
- Lime Bark: HSN 1401 is for “Vegetable plaiting materials” and includes “lime bark,” which is a type of vegetable material and not the mineral product.
- Limes (Citrus Fruit): The HSN code 08055000 is for fresh or dried lemons and limes (the fruit). This is an entirely different product category under “Edible fruit and nuts.”
By correctly identifying the HSN code based on the type of lime you are trading—mineral product, vegetable material, or a chemical used in a process—you can ensure accurate GST compliance and avoid classification errors.
