Understanding the HSN Code for Marker Pens
Marker pens, alongside other writing instruments, are broadly classified under Chapter 96 of the HSN, specifically within the heading “Miscellaneous manufactured articles.” This chapter encompasses a wide array of items not specifically covered elsewhere, including pens, pencils, and their parts.
More precisely, marker pens fall under the HSN code 9608. This heading is quite comprehensive, covering:
- Ball point pens
- Felt tipped and other porous-tipped pens and markers
- Fountain pens
- Stylograph pens and other pens
- Duplicating stylos
- Propelling or sliding pencils
- Pen holders, pencil holders and similar holders
- Parts (including caps and clips) of the above-mentioned articles
For marker pens specifically, you will often find them categorized under sub-headings within 9608, such as 96082000 for “Felt tipped and other porous-tipped pens and markers.” Other related HSN codes within 9608, like 96086090 or 96089990, also cover various types of pens and markers or their parts. The detailed classification ensures accurate identification for customs and taxation purposes.
Understanding the GST Rate for Marker Pens
In India, marker pens, along with most other writing instruments under HSN 9608, attract a standard GST rate of 18%. This uniform rate simplifies the tax structure for manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of these products. It ensures consistency across the stationery sector, regardless of the specific type of pen or marker.
This 18% GST rate became effective on July 1, 2017, coinciding with the nationwide implementation of GST in India. Businesses must ensure that this rate is correctly applied to all sales of marker pens to maintain compliance and avoid discrepancies during audits.
