Understand the Right HSN Code for Machine Tools

Are you a manufacturer, supplier, or buyer of machine tools in India? Navigating the correct HSN code is essential for seamless GST compliance. The classification of machine tools can be complex, as it depends on the function, material, and type of machine. Let’s explore the relevant HSN codes and GST rates for various machine tools and their parts.

Understand the Primary HSN Codes for Machine Tools

Most machine tools fall under Chapter 84 of the GST Tariff, which covers “Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof.” Within this chapter, there are specific headings for different types of machine tools.

All the machine tools listed in the data have a consistent GST rate of 18%, which has been effective since July 1, 2017.

Find the HSN Code for Metalworking Machine Tools

The HSN codes for metalworking machine tools are detailed based on the operation they perform.

  • Drilling, Boring, Milling, Threading, or Tapping: Look for HSN codes under 8459. This includes machines that remove metal. For instance, 84592990 covers other drilling machines, while 84595110 is for numerically controlled horizontal milling machines.
  • Grinding, Sharpening, Honing, or Polishing: These are classified under HSN code 8460. For example, 84602930 covers machines for grinding metal by means of grinding stones.
  • Forging, Bending, Folding, Shearing, or Punching: These machines are found under HSN code 8462. Examples include 84629913 for presses for working metal and 84621011 for forging presses.
  • Planing, Shaping, Broaching, or Gear Cutting: These machines are categorized under HSN code 8461. For instance, 84614022 is for gear grinding machines.
  • Working Metal Without Removing Material: For machines like thread rolling machines, the HSN code is 8463.

Classify Your Woodworking Machine Tools

If your machine tool is designed for working with wood, cork, bone, or hard plastics, it falls under a different heading.

  • HSN code 8465 is for “Machine tools…for working wood, cork, bone, hard rubber, hard plastics or similar hard materials.”
  • Specific sub-codes like 84659300 are for grinding, sanding, or polishing machines used for these materials.
  • The GST rate remains 18% for these machines as well.

Don’t Forget Parts and Accessories

Parts and accessories that are suitable for use solely or principally with machine tools are classified under HSN code 8466.

  • This includes work or tool holders, dividing heads, and other special attachments.
  • Codes like 84663010 and 84663090 are for tool holders and other parts, respectively.
  • The GST rate for these components is also 18%.

Identify Interchangeable Tools

If you are dealing with interchangeable tools for machine tools, such as drills, dies, or milling cutters, they are classified under Chapter 82, “Tools, implements, cutlery, spoons and forks, of base metal.”

  • HSN code 8207 covers “Interchangeable tools for hand tools…or for machine-tools.”
  • Specific codes like 82074090 and 82071900 are used for different types of these interchangeable tools.
  • The GST rate for these tools is also 18%.

By understanding the function and material of your machine tool or related product, you can accurately determine its HSN code and ensure proper GST compliance.
