Understand Mixed Metal Scrap HSN Codes and GST Rates

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 Core of Metal Scrap: By Material Type

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.

  • Copper Waste and Scrap: Under HSN Chapter 74: “Copper and articles thereof.”
    • 74040023: “Copper Waste And Scrap – Copper Waste And Scrap— Of Copper Alloys —-Nickel Silver Scrap Namely The Following: Mixed New Nickel Silver Clippings Covered By Isri Code Word ‘Maize’, New Nickel Silver Clippings Covered By Isri Code Word ‘Major’, New Segre” – This includes “mixed new nickel silver clippings,” which are copper alloys.
  • Aluminium Waste and Scrap: Under HSN Chapter 76: “Aluminium and articles thereof.”
    • 76020010: “Aluminium Waste And Scrap – Aluminium Waste And Scrap : Aluminium Scrap, Namely The Following : Clean Aluminium Lithographic Sheets (Isri) New, Clean Aluminium Lithographic Sheets (Isri)Mixed Low Copper Aluminium Clippings And Solids (Isri) Clean Mixed Ol” – This explicitly lists “Mixed Low Copper Aluminium Clippings And Solids.”

Precious Metal Waste and Scrap

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.

  • Waste And Scrap Of Precious Metal Or Of Metal Clad With Precious Metal; Other Waste And Scrap Containing Precious Metal Or Precious Metal Compounds, Of A Kind Used Principally For The Recovery Of Precious Metal: HSN 7112 broadly covers these.
    • 71123000: Ash Containing Precious Metal Or Precious

    • 71129910: Other : Other: Of Silver, Including Metal

Services Related to Metal Scrap Recovery

Beyond the physical scrap, the services involved in processing and recovering metals from waste are also classified. These fall under HSN Chapter 99: “Services.”

  • Metal Waste And Scrap Recovery (Recycling) Services, On A Fee Or Contract Basis: HSN 998941 covers these services. They attract an 18% GST rate with Nil CESS, effective from August 22, 2017 (with a revision on October 13, 2017).
  • Non-Metal Waste And Scrap Recovery (Recycling) Services, On A Fee Or Contract Basis: HSN 998942 covers similar services for non-metal waste, also with an 18% GST rate and Nil CESS.
