Understanding Lubricating Grease HSN Codes and GST

Lubricating grease is an essential substance, vital for reducing friction and wear in countless machines, from industrial equipment to automotive components. For businesses involved in the manufacturing, distribution, or sale of lubricating grease, understanding the correct HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code and the applicable Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate is crucial for compliance and smooth trade.

The Lubricating Grease HSN Code

The primary HSN classification for lubricating grease falls under Chapter 34: Soap, organic surface-active agents, washing preparations, lubricating preparations, artificial waxes, prepared waxes, polishing or scouring preparations, candles and similar articles, modelling pastes, dental waxes and dental preparations with a basis of plaster.

Within this chapter, the core HSN code for lubricating preparations, including grease, is 3403. This broad heading covers “Lubricating Preparations (Including Cutting-Oil Preparations, Bolt Or Nut Release Preparations, Anti-Rust Or Anti-Corrosion Preparations And Mould Release Preparations, Based On Lubricants) And Preparations Of A Kind Used For The Oil Or Grease Treatment Of…”

The data provides several specific HSN codes under 3403:

  • 34031100: This code likely refers to lubricating preparations containing petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous minerals, for textile materials, leather, furskins or other materials.
  • 34031900: This likely covers other lubricating preparations containing petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous minerals, not elsewhere specified.
  • 34039100: This code refers to other lubricating preparations not containing petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous minerals, for textile materials, leather, furskins or other materials.
  • 34039900: This is a residual category for other lubricating preparations not containing petroleum oils or oils obtained from bituminous minerals, not elsewhere specified.

Essentially, all these codes under HSN 3403 cover various types of lubricating preparations, including grease, distinguished by their composition (e.g., containing petroleum oils or not) and intended use.

It’s vital to differentiate lubricating grease from other “grease” related terms found in the data:

  • Wool Grease (HSN 1505): This refers to animal or vegetable fats and oils, specifically crude wool grease or lanolin, and is distinct from manufactured lubricating grease. It attracts a 12% GST rate.
  • Axle Boxes (Lubricating Or Grease Box) (HSN 86071930): This is a part of railway rolling stock that uses grease, not the grease itself. It attracts an 18% GST rate.
  • Fuel, Lubricating Or Cooling Medium Pumps (HSN 841330XX): These are pumps that handle lubricating fluids, not the lubricants themselves. They attract a 28% GST rate.
  • Compressed Air Grease Guns, Lubricators And Similar Appliances (HSN 84678910): These are tools used to apply grease, not the grease product. They attract an 18% GST rate.
  • Other Lubricating Oil (HSN 27101977, 27101978, 27101979): These are lubricating oils, which are distinct from lubricating grease in consistency and application, although they share the function of lubrication. They attract an 18% GST rate.

Understanding the GST Rate for Lubricating Grease

Based on the provided data, all the specific HSN codes under 3403 for lubricating preparations (including grease) are subject to an 18% GST rate. This rate has been consistently applied since November 15, 2017, and originally from July 1, 2017.

FAQs

What is the main HSN Chapter for Lubricating Grease?

Lubricating Grease falls under HSN Chapter 34.

What is the general HSN code for Lubricating Preparations, including grease?

The general HSN code is 3403.

When did the 18% GST rate for Lubricating Grease become effective?

The 18% GST rate became effective from November 15, 2017, with its original implementation on July 1, 2017.

What is the GST rate for Wool Grease?

Lubricating oil generally has an 18% GST rate.

Why are there different HSN codes and GST rates for products related to “grease” or “lubrication”?

The HSN system classifies goods based on their specific nature, composition, and function. Therefore, the finished lubricating grease product, the raw material (wool grease), the tools that apply it (grease guns), and parts that contain it (axle boxes) all have distinct classifications.
