Understanding “Metal Paste”: A Guide to HSN Codes and GST
The term “metal paste” can refer to a variety of products, each with a distinct purpose and, consequently, a different Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code and Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate in India. For businesses dealing with these specialized chemical or abrasive compounds, accurate classification is crucial for proper invoicing and tax compliance.
Understanding the specific function and composition of a “metal paste” is key to identifying its correct HSN. Here’s a breakdown of common types of metal pastes and their corresponding classifications.
Polishing and Scouring Pastes for Metal
Many metal pastes are designed for cleaning, polishing, or scouring metal surfaces, restoring their shine and removing oxidation or grime. These types of pastes typically fall under:
- Chapter 34: Soap, organic surface-active agents, washing preparations, lubricating preparations, artificial waxes, prepared waxes, polishing or scouring preparations, candles and similar articles, modeling pastes, “dental waxes” and dental preparations with a basis of plaster.
- Specifically, within this chapter, you will find:
- HSN 3405: Polishes and creams, for footwear, furniture, floors, coachwork, glass or metal, scouring pastes and powders and similar preparations…
- For pastes specifically for metal, the sub-heading 34059010: Polishes and compositions for application to metal including diamond polishing powder or paste is highly relevant.
- Other sub-headings like 34059090 (Other polishes and creams) might also apply for general metal cleaning pastes.
- The GST rate for these polishing and scouring metal pastes is 18%, effective from July 1, 2017.
- Specifically, within this chapter, you will find:
Soldering, Brazing, and Welding Pastes
Another significant category of “metal paste” relates to applications in metallurgy, such as soldering, brazing, and welding. These pastes often consist of metal powders mixed with fluxes or other binding agents. These are found in a different HSN chapter due to their chemical nature and specialized use:
- Chapter 38: Miscellaneous chemical products.
- Under this chapter, the relevant heading is 3810: Pickling preparations for metal surfaces; fluxes and other auxiliary preparations for soldering, brazing or welding; soldering, brazing or welding powders and pastes consisting of metal and other materials; preparations of a kind used as cores or coatings for welding electrodes or rods.
- Specific sub-headings include:
- 381010: Pickling preparations for metal surfaces; soldering, brazing or welding powders and pastes consisting of metal and other materials.
- 38101010: Pickling preparation and other soldering, brazing or welding powders or pastes.
- These soldering, brazing, or welding pastes, whether or not containing metal, are subject to an 18% GST rate, effective from July 1, 2017.
Other Types of Metal Paste
Other specialized “metal pastes” might exist, such as:
- Metallic pigments in paste form for paints: These would fall under HSN 3212 (Pigments, including metallic powders and flakes, dispersed in non-aqueous media, in liquid or paste form, of a kind used in the manufacture of paints). These typically attract an 18% GST.
- Lubricating metal pastes: These are used to reduce friction between metal parts and would likely be classified under HSN 3403 (Lubricating preparations). These also commonly have an 18% GST.
Therefore, when dealing with “metal paste,” it’s essential to pinpoint its exact function to assign the correct HSN code and ensure accurate GST application.
