Understanding the pH Meter HSN Code

pH meters, being instruments used for physical or chemical analysis, primarily fall under Chapter 90 of the HSN. This chapter covers “Optical, photographic, cinematographic, measuring, checking, precision, medical or surgical instruments and apparatus; parts and accessories thereof.”

Specifically, pH meters are classified under HSN 9027. This heading encompasses:

  • “Instruments and apparatus for physical or chemical analysis (for example, polarimeters, refractometers, spectrometers, gas or smoke analysis apparatus); instruments and apparatus for measuring or checking viscosity, porosity, expansion, surface tension or the like; instruments and apparatus for measuring or checking quantities of heat, sound or light (including exposure meters); microtomes.”

Within HSN 9027, pH meters are generally found under the sub-heading for “Other instruments and apparatus,” which is typically 902780 or 902789, and then further specified as “Other” under 90278090 or 90278990. It’s important to note that while the provided data includes other “meter” related HSN codes (like 9026 for flow/level meters or 9028 for electricity meters, and 9030 for electrical quantity meters), these are distinct from a pH meter’s function of chemical analysis.

GST Rate on pH Meters: Based on general GST rates for instruments under HSN 9027, pH meters typically attract an 18% GST rate. This rate has been effective since July 1, 2017.

Therefore, if you’re dealing with pH meters, you should classify them under HSN 9027, specifically a sub-code like 90278090 or 90278990, and apply an 18% GST rate. Always confirm the most precise sub-heading based on the exact specifications and features of the pH meter.

FAQs

What is the primary HSN chapter for pH meters?

The primary HSN chapter for pH meters is 90, covering optical, measuring, and precision instruments.

What is the most common HSN code for a pH meter?

The most common HSN codes for pH meters are 90278090 or 90278990, which fall under “Instruments and apparatus for physical or chemical analysis.”

What is the GST rate for pH meters?

The GST rate for pH meters is generally 18%.

Does the HSN code change for digital versus analog pH meters?

No, the HSN classification for a pH meter is based on its function (chemical analysis) rather than its digital or analog nature.

Why is accurate HSN classification important for pH meters?

Accurate HSN classification is vital for correct GST invoicing, appropriate tax payment, compliance with import/export regulations, and ensuring smooth business operations.

Can other analytical instruments also fall under HSN 9027?

Yes, HSN 9027 is a broad category that includes various instruments for physical or chemical analysis, such as spectrophotometers, refractometers, and gas analysis apparatus.
