Understand the Paper Plate HSN Code
Paper plates are ubiquitous in daily life, offering convenience for parties, food service, and various disposable needs. For businesses manufacturing, distributing, or selling these common items, accurately identifying their Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code is essential for seamless Goods and Services Tax (GST) compliance. While the provided data heavily features various types of paper and photographic materials, we need to pinpoint the specific classification for a finished paper plate.
Paper Plate HSN Codes and GST Rates
Paper plates, being finished articles made from paper or paperboard, are generally classified under HSN Chapter 48: Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp, of paper or of paperboard.
More specifically, within this chapter, articles of paper pulp, paper, or paperboard are categorized. For disposable plates, the most relevant HSN Heading is usually:
- HSN Heading: 4823 (Other paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibres, cut to size or shape; other articles of paper pulp, paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibres)
- Specific HSN Code for Paper Plates: While not explicitly listed as “Paper Plate” in the provided data, finished articles of paper and paperboard not elsewhere specified fall under this heading. The most common sub-heading for disposable paper plates, cups, and similar tableware is typically 48239090 (Other).
- GST Rate: This category generally attracts an 18% GST rate.
- Effective Date: July 1, 2017
It’s important to differentiate paper plates from other paper products mentioned in the provided data, such as:
- Carbon-Paper, Self-Copy Paper, etc.: HSN 4816 (18% GST) – These are specialized papers, not finished articles like plates.
- Filter Blocks, Slabs, and Plates of Paper Pulp: HSN 4812 (18% GST) – These are more akin to raw or semi-finished materials, not consumer-ready plates.
- Photographic Paper and Paperboard: HSN 3704 (18% GST) – These are for photographic purposes and are unrelated to tableware.
- Worked Mica on a support of paper, paperboard: HSN 6814 (18% GST) – This is a completely different material.
Therefore, for finished paper plates intended for serving food, the HSN classification under Chapter 48, likely within the broader “Other articles of paper” category, is the most appropriate.
