Understanding “Metal Box” HSN Codes

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.

Metal Box HSN Codes by Function

The provided data highlights that “metal box” can be a component of specialized machinery or a type of security container. Here’s a breakdown:

Moulding Boxes for Metal Foundry (Industrial Use)

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.

  • 84801000: This HSN directly covers “Moulding Boxes For Metal Foundry.” This is a very specific type of metal box designed for industrial casting processes.
  • 8480: This is a broader heading that encompasses “Moulding Boxes For Metal Foundry; Mould Bases; Moulding Patterns; Moulds For Metal (Other Than Ingot Moulds), Metal Carbides, Glass, Mineral Materials, Rubber Or Plastics.” The specific subheadings under 8480 further categorize different types of moulds and related components (e.g., 84807900 for “Moulds For Rubber Or Plastics: Other,” 84806000 for “Moulds For Mineral Materials,” 84804900 for “Moulds For Metal Or Metal Carbides: Other,” etc.).

All these industrial moulding boxes and related items under HSN 8480 typically attract an 18% GST rate, effective from July 1, 2017.

FAQs

What is the HSN code for moulding boxes used in metal foundries?

The HSN code for moulding boxes used in metal foundries is 84801000.

What is the GST rate for moulding boxes for metal foundry?

The GST rate for moulding boxes for metal foundry is 18%.

What HSN chapter covers safes and strong-boxes made of base metal?

Safes and strong-boxes made of base metal fall under Chapter 83: Miscellaneous articles of base metal.

What is the GST rate for armoured safes and cash boxes?

The GST rate for armoured safes and cash boxes is 18%.

What is the GST rate for metal electrical junction boxes?

The GST rate for metal electrical junction boxes is typically 18%.

Why is it crucial to identify the specific function of a “metal box” for HSN classification?

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.
