Office table HSN Code

Understanding the Office Table HSN Code

The office table is more than just a surface; it’s a hub for productivity, collaboration, and organization. For businesses dealing with office furniture, understanding the correct HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code for an office table is fundamental for accurate GST (Goods and Services Tax) compliance.

Interestingly, the provided data focuses entirely on “Glassware Of A Kind Used For Table, Kitchen, Toilet, Office, Indoor Decoration Or Similar Purposes.” This strongly suggests that the data provided is for glass office items or accessories on a table, rather than the office table itself. HSN codes from 7013 (e.g., 70131000, 70132100, 70139990), all with an 18% GST rate effective from July 1, 2017, relate to various types of glassware used in an office setting (like decorative items, drinking glasses, etc.).

However, a physical office table – whether made of wood, metal, particle board, or a combination – falls under a different HSN Chapter altogether.

The Actual HSN Code for Office Tables

Office tables are classified under Chapter 94: Furniture; bedding, mattresses, mattress supports, cushions and similar stuffed furnishing; lamps and lighting fittings, not elsewhere specified or included; illuminated signs, illuminated name-plates and the like; prefabricated building.

Specifically, within Chapter 94, office tables typically fall under:

• HSN 9403: Other Furniture And Parts Thereof. This heading is broad and covers various types of furniture not specifically mentioned elsewhere in the chapter.
  • For wooden office tables, the relevant HSN code is often 94033090: Other wooden furniture of a kind used in offices.
  • For metal office tables, the relevant HSN code is often 94032090: Other metal furniture of a kind used in offices.
  • If an office table is made of plastics, it would generally fall under 94037000: Furniture of plastics.

The Applicable GST Rate

For office tables, regardless of whether they are made of wood, metal, or plastic, the prevailing GST rate is consistently 18%. This rate has been in effect since July 1, 2017.

It’s crucial for businesses to differentiate between office furniture (the table itself) and glassware used on an office table. The provided data, while mentioning “office” in its description, pertains to glass items. Always refer to the correct HSN Chapter and Heading for the actual furniture item.

Ensuring correct HSN classification for your office tables is vital for accurate GST invoicing, streamlined procurement, and seamless compliance with tax regulations. A well-classified table contributes to a well-organized business!
