Understanding the HSN Code for Paper Holders

The term “paper holder” can refer to a variety of products, from simple desk accessories to bathroom fixtures. When it comes to HSN (Harmonised System of Nomenclature) codes and GST (Goods and Services Tax) in India, accurately classifying a “paper holder” hinges entirely on its material and intended use. This blog post will explore the diverse HSN codes that may apply to items we commonly call “paper holders.”

The “Paper Holder” HSN Classifications

Based on the provided data, a “paper holder” isn’t a single, universally classified item. Its HSN code and corresponding GST rate will depend heavily on its nature.

Paper-Based Office and Stationery Holders

If a “paper holder” refers to an item made of paper or paperboard that helps organize or hold paper, it falls under Chapter 48, which covers “Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp, of paper or of paperboard.”

  • Box Files, Letter Trays, and Similar Office Articles of Paper or Paperboard: For items like these, used in offices to hold paper, the HSN code 48194000 is applicable. The GST rate for these is 18%, effective from July 1, 2017.
  • While not explicitly “holders,” other paper-based products related to holding or organizing paper, such as labels (48211010, 48219090), also fall under Chapter 48 with an 18% GST rate.

Metal-Based Paper Holders

Many common “paper holders,” especially those found in bathrooms or offices, are made of base metal.

  • Fittings for Loose-Leaf Binders or Files, Letter Clips, Paper Clips, and Similar Office Articles, of Base Metal: If your “paper holder” is a clip or a similar office accessory made of base metal, it likely falls under HSN code 83059010. This general category for miscellaneous articles of base metal applies to pins and similar items. The GST rate is 18%, effective from October 13, 2017 (with a rate revision on November 15, 2017).
  • Sanitary Ware and Parts Thereof, of Copper: While the specific HSN code for a toilet paper holder made of copper isn’t directly in the provided data, external searches indicate that 74182010 is frequently used for sanitary ware, including toilet paper holders, if they are made of copper. These generally have an 18% GST rate.
  • Other Articles of Base Metal (e.g., steel, iron): For toilet paper holders, kitchen roll holders, or desk organizers made of iron, steel, or other base metals, you might find them under broader categories like 73239990 (for table, kitchen or other household articles of iron or steel) or 83025000 (for hat-racks, hat-pegs, brackets and similar fixtures of base metal). These typically carry an 18% GST.

Other Materials for Paper Holders

While not explicitly “paper holders” in the data, it’s worth noting other material categories:

  • Articles of Mica on a Support of Paper or Paperboard: If a “paper holder” incorporates worked mica on a paper backing, HSN codes like 68149040 or 68149050 (for micapaper or moulded glass bonded mica) would apply, with an 18% GST.

Determining the Correct HSN Code

The key takeaway is that you cannot simply search for “paper holder” and expect a single HSN code. You must consider:

  1. Material: Is it paper/paperboard, metal (iron, steel, copper), plastic, or another material?
  2. Function/Type: Is it a file holder, a toilet roll holder, a desk organizer, or a clip?

Understanding these distinctions will lead you to the correct HSN code and applicable GST rate.
