The term “metal box” can refer to a vast range of products, from a simple storage tin to an intricate electrical enclosure or specialized industrial equipment. Consequently, there isn’t one single HSN (Harmonised System of Nomenclature) code for all “metal boxes.” Instead, the correct HSN code, and thus the applicable GST (Goods and Services Tax) rate, hinges on the specific function, design, and material of the metal box.
For businesses in India dealing with various types of metal boxes, a precise understanding of their classification is essential for accurate compliance. Let’s explore the relevant HSN codes based on the provided data and common industry classifications.
The provided data highlights that “metal box” can be a component of specialized machinery or a type of security container. Here’s a breakdown:
A significant portion of the provided data focuses on “Moulding Boxes For Metal Foundry” and related items. These are highly specific metal boxes used in industrial processes for shaping molten metal. They fall under Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof.
All these industrial moulding boxes and related items under HSN 8480 typically attract an 18% GST rate, effective from July 1, 2017.
The HSN code for moulding boxes used in metal foundries is 84801000.
The GST rate for moulding boxes for metal foundry is 18%.
Safes and strong-boxes made of base metal fall under Chapter 83: Miscellaneous articles of base metal.
The GST rate for armoured safes and cash boxes is 18%.
The GST rate for metal electrical junction boxes is typically 18%.
Identifying the specific function of a “metal box” is crucial because the HSN code and applicable GST rate depend heavily on whether it’s an industrial mould, a security container, a general storage box, or an electrical enclosure.
