Understanding the HSN Code for Your Paint Marker

For artists, DIY enthusiasts, and businesses dealing in specialized writing and marking tools, understanding the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code for a paint marker is crucial for accurate Goods and Services Tax (GST) compliance in India. While “paint marker” might seem like a straightforward item, its classification depends on its specific design and function. Let’s delve into the relevant HSN codes and their applicable GST rates.

Paint Markers Under the HSN System

Paint markers are a type of “pen” or “marker” that dispense paint. Given this, the most relevant HSN Chapter for paint markers is usually Chapter 96: “Miscellaneous manufactured articles.”

Within Chapter 96, the key heading to consider is related to pens and markers:

  • Felt Tipped And Other Porous-Tipped Pens And Markers: This category under HSN 9608 is the primary classification for paint markers. The descriptions explicitly mention “Felt Tipped And Other Porous-Tipped Pens And Markers.” While the provided data lists many sub-codes under 9608 (like 96086090, 96089990, 96089910, 96089199, 96089120, 96089110, 96086010), all these typically fall under the broad description of pens and markers.
  • The consistent GST rate for items under HSN 9608 in the provided data is 18%. This rate has been effective since 01/07/2017.

Therefore, a typical paint marker, being a porous-tipped or felt-tipped marking instrument designed to dispense paint, would likely fall under HSN 9608 with an 18% GST rate.
