Understanding the Paper Pin HSN Code

Paper pins, an unassuming but essential item in any office or school, play a crucial role in organizing documents. For businesses involved in the manufacturing, import, or sale of these small but mighty stationery items, understanding their correct HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code and associated GST (Goods and Services Tax) rate is key to smooth operations and compliance.

The provided data directly addresses “Paper pin” within a broader category of office articles made of base metal.

The Paper Pin: HSN 8305

Paper pins fall under Chapter 83: Miscellaneous articles of base metal. This chapter is dedicated to various articles made from common metals.

Specifically, paper pins are classified under the heading:

  • HSN 8305: Fittings For Loose-Leaf Binders Or Files, Letter Clips, Letter Corners, Paper Clips, Indexing Tags And Similar Office Articles, Of Base Metal; Staples In Strips (For Example, For Offices, Upholstery, Packaging), Of Base Metal.
    • Within this heading, the data explicitly mentions:
      • 83059010: Other, Including Parts: Pins. This code directly covers various types of pins used for office purposes, including paper pins.

The Applicable GST Rate for Paper Pins

For paper pins classified under HSN 83059010, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate is 18%. This rate has been in effect from November 15, 2017, with earlier revisions from October 13, 2017.

It is important to differentiate paper pins from other “paper” related items mentioned in the data, which fall under different chapters and have varying GST rates:

  • Paper and Paperboard (HSN 4802, 4810, 4811, 4804, etc.): These are the materials paper pins are used with, and they typically have GST rates of 12% or 18% depending on the type and coating.
  • Paper Labels (HSN 4821): These are finished paper products with an 18% GST.
  • Paper Pulp Board (HSN 4823): This is a processed paper product with an 18% GST.
  • Paper Knives (HSN 8214): These are cutlery items, also with an 18% GST.

In essence, while “paper” is in the name, a paper pin’s primary classification is determined by its material (base metal) and function (office article), leading to its placement under HSN 8305 and an 18% GST rate.
