Understand Milk Powder HSN Code and GST Rate

Milk powder, a convenient and shelf-stable form of milk, is a widely traded commodity. Understanding its Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code is essential for determining the applicable Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate in India. Let’s delve into the provided data to find the HSN classifications and GST implications for milk powder.

Pinpoint HSN Codes for Milk Powder

The data clearly identifies milk powder under Chapter 04, which pertains to “Dairy produce; birds’ eggs; natural honey; edible products of animal origin, not elsewhere specified or included.” Specifically, the relevant HSN codes are:

  • 04021010: Skimmed milk in powder, granules or other solid forms, of a fat content, by weight not exceeding 1.5%: Skimmed Milk.
  • 04021090: Skimmed milk in powder, granules or other solid forms, of a fat content, by weight not exceeding 1.5%: Other.
  • 04021020: Skimmed milk in powder, granules or other solid forms, of a fat content, by weight not exceeding 1.5%: Milk Food For Babies.
  • 04022100: Milk and cream in powder, granules or other solid forms, of a fat content, by weight exceeding 1.5%: Not Containing Added Sugar Or Other Sweetening Matter.

Applicable GST Rate on Milk Powder

The GST rate applicable to all the mentioned HSN codes for milk powder under Chapter 04 is 5%. There is no CESS levied on these items. The effective date for this GST rate is July 1, 2017.

It’s worth noting that the data also includes “Milk And Cream, Concentrated Or Containing Added Sugar Or Other Sweetening Matter” under the same chapter and heading (0402), implying that sweetened milk powder would also likely fall under this 5% GST rate, although specific sub-codes for sweetened varieties in powder form aren’t explicitly listed.
