Oxygen cylinders are vital for various applications, from industrial processes to life-saving medical interventions. Understanding the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) codes and the corresponding Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates for oxygen cylinders is essential for businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals to ensure proper taxation and compliance. This blog will guide you through the relevant HSN classifications and GST implications.
It’s important to distinguish between the oxygen gas itself and the cylinder that contains it. Each component often falls under different HSN classifications and may have varying GST rates.
For the oxygen gas itself, particularly “Medical Grade Oxygen,” the HSN code falls under Chapter 28: “Inorganic chemicals, organic or inorganic compounds of precious metals, of rare-earth metals, of radioactive elements or of isotopes.” Specifically, “Oxygen” is under HSN code 280440. “Medicinal Grade” oxygen uses the HSN code 28044010, which has a 12% GST rate, effective from November 15, 2017. Other forms of oxygen might have a different rate, as per HSN 28044090 which can be 5%, 12%, or 18% depending on the specific type.
The physical oxygen cylinder, being a container for compressed or liquefied gas, typically falls under Chapter 73: “Articles of iron or steel” or Chapter 76: “Articles of aluminium.”
Medical equipment directly involved in oxygen therapy, beyond just the gas and cylinder, generally falls under Chapter 90: “Optical, photographic, cinematographic, measuring, checking, precision, medical or surgical instruments and apparatus; parts and accessories thereof.”
“Mechano-Therapy Appliances; Massage Apparatus; Psychological Aptitude-Testing Apparatus; Ozone Therapy, Oxygen Therapy, Aerosol Therapy, Artificial Respiration Or Other Therapeutic Respiration Apparatus” are relevant categories.
It is important to note that the term “cylinder” also appears in the context of engines. For example, “Spark-Ignition Reciprocating Or Rotary Internal Combustion Piston Engines” with specific “Cylinder Capacity” are found under Chapter 84: “Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof.” Examples include HSN codes like 84073320 and 84073210 for motorcycle engines, which have a significantly higher GST rate of 28%. These are distinct from oxygen cylinders.
Medical grade oxygen gas is typically classified under HSN code 28044010.
Medical grade oxygen (HSN 28044010) has a 12% GST rate.
An empty oxygen cylinder made of iron or steel typically falls under HSN 73110090.
Oxygen therapy equipment (e.g., under HSN 90192090) typically has a 12% GST rate.
The 12% GST rate for medical grade oxygen became effective from November 15, 2017.
The oxygen gas (the chemical element) is under Chapter 28, while the cylinder (the container) is under Chapters 73 (iron/steel) or 76 (aluminum).
