Understanding the Loading Unloading HSN Code

The terms “loading” and “unloading” refer to the processes of moving goods onto and off transport vehicles or into and out of storage. These are services integral to logistics and supply chains. As such, “loading and unloading” as a service doesn’t have a single, direct HSN code. Instead, the HSN code applies to the machinery and equipment used in these processes.

Based on the provided data, Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof is the primary chapter covering machinery used for lifting, handling, loading, or unloading. The main HSN heading is 8428: “Other lifting, handling, loading or unloading machinery (for example, lifts, escalators, conveyors, teleferics).”

Within this heading, various sub-classifications exist, all with a GST rate of 18% (effective 15/11/2017):

  • 84283100: Other Continuous-Action Elevators And Conveyors, For Goods Or Materials: Specially Designed For Underground Use.
  • 84281019: Lifts And Skip Hoists: Lifts: Other.
  • 84289010: Other Machinery : For Coal Handling.
  • 84282019: Pneumatic Elevators And Conveyors: Conveyors: Other.
  • 84284000: Escalators And Moving Walkways.
  • 8428: This is the main heading itself.
  • 84286000: Teleferics, Chair-Lifts, Ski-Raglines, Traction Mechanisms For Funiculars.
  • 84285090: Mine Wagon Pushers, Locomotive Or Wagon Traversers, Wagon Tippers And Similar Railway Wagon Handling Equipment: Other.
  • 84281011: Lifts And Skip Hoists: Lifts: Lifts Of A Kind Used In Buildings.
  • 84283200: Other Continuous-Action Elevators And Conveyors, For Goods Or Materials: Other, Bucket Type.
  • 84285010: Mine Wagon Pushers, Locomotive Or Wagon Traversers, Wagon Tippers And Similar Railway Wagon Handling Equipment: Wagon Marshalling Equipment.
  • 84281020: Lifts And Skip Hoists: Skip Hoists.
  • 84282011: Pneumatic Elevators And Conveyors: Conveyors: Belt Conveyors.
  • 84283900: Other Continuous-Action Elevators And Conveyors, For Goods Or Materials: Other.
  • 84289090: Other Machinery : Other.
  • 84282020: Pneumatic Elevators And Conveyors Pneumatic Elevators.
  • 84289020: Other Machinery : For Ash Handling.
  • 84285020: Mine Wagon Pushers, Locomotive Or Wagon Traversers, Wagon Tippers And Similar Railway Wagon Handling Equipment: Wagon Tippers.
  • 84283300: Other Continuous-Action Elevators And Conveyors, For Goods Or Materials: Other, Belt Type.

The data also includes 87162000: Self-Loading Or Self-Unloading Trailers And Semi-Trailers For Agricultural Purposes under Chapter 87: Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock…, with a 12% GST rate (effective 01/08/2019). These vehicles incorporate loading and unloading mechanisms.

Therefore, when discussing the HSN code related to loading and unloading, it’s essential to specify the type of machinery involved. The service of loading and unloading itself falls under service codes.

FAQs

Is there a specific HSN code for the service of “loading and unloading”?

No, the service of loading and unloading itself doesn’t have a specific HSN code in this data. HSN codes classify goods (machinery), not services directly. Services related to transportation and handling would fall under service codes.

Under which HSN chapter is machinery used for loading and unloading classified?

Machinery used for loading, unloading, lifting, and handling is primarily classified under Chapter 84 of the HSN code.

What is the main HSN heading for lifting, handling, loading, or unloading machinery?

The main HSN heading for this type of machinery is 8428.

What is the typical GST rate for loading and unloading machinery listed in the data?

The GST rate for most of the loading and unloading machinery listed in the data is 18%.

Are self-loading trailers classified under the same HSN chapter as other loading machinery?

No, self-loading trailers for agricultural purposes are classified under Chapter 87 (Vehicles), with HSN code 87162000 and a GST rate of 12%.
