Mixed metal scrap is a crucial commodity in the recycling industry, serving as a valuable raw material for new metal production. For businesses involved in the trade or processing of mixed metal scrap, understanding the correct Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) codes and associated Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates is essential for accurate compliance. The term “mixed metal scrap” itself isn’t a single HSN code but rather refers to various categories of metal waste. Let’s break down how these materials are classified.
The HSN categorizes metal waste and scrap primarily by the type of metal. Different chapters are dedicated to specific metals, and within those, the waste and scrap forms are identified. These generally attract an 18% GST rate, effective from July 1, 2017.
For scrap containing precious metals, a separate and lower GST rate applies, reflecting the high value of these materials. These fall under HSN Chapter 71: “Natural or cultured pearls, precious or semi-precious stones, precious metals, metals clad with precious metal, and articles thereof; imitation jewelry; coin.” These generally attract a 3% GST rate, effective from July 1, 2017.
Beyond the physical scrap, the services involved in processing and recovering metals from waste are also classified. These fall under HSN Chapter 99: “Services.”
There isn’t one single HSN code; it depends on the type of metal. You classify based on the predominant metal.
Lead waste and scrap (HSN 78020010) attract an 18% GST rate.
Waste and scrap of precious metals (HSN 7112 and its sub-codes) attract a lower 3% GST rate.
Metal waste and scrap recovery services (HSN 998941) attract an 18% GST rate.
Most GST rates for metal scrap categories became effective on July 1, 2017, with service rates effective from August 22, 2017.
