Find the Right HSN Code for Photo Frames
HSN codes are essential for classifying goods under India’s GST system. However, the provided data does not contain any direct mention of “photo frames.” Instead, it primarily lists electrical machinery, semiconductor devices, and iron/steel structures. Therefore, definitively identifying the HSN code for photo frames from this data alone is not possible.
This blog post will analyze the types of goods mentioned and explain why they are unlikely to include photo frames. We will also discuss where photo frames are typically classified based on general knowledge of HSN codes.
Electrical Machinery and Equipment (Chapter 85 – 18% GST):
The majority of the HSN codes listed (e.g., 8515, 8541, 8540) relate to electrical machinery and equipment such as:
- Welding and soldering machines
- Photosensitive semiconductor devices
- Thermionic valves and tubes (including cathode-ray tubes)
These categories are clearly distinct from photo frames, which are generally considered decorative or household articles.
Articles of Iron or Steel (Chapter 73 – 18% GST):
The data also includes HSN codes under Chapter 73, specifically for structures and parts of structures made of iron or steel (e.g., 7308). While some photo frames might incorporate metal components, their primary classification is unlikely to be under structural iron or steel.
Likely Classification of Photo Frames (Based on General Knowledge):
Based on common HSN classifications, photo frames are typically categorized under:
- Chapter 44 (Wood and articles of wood): For wooden photo frames.
- Chapter 39 (Plastics and articles thereof): For plastic photo frames.
- Chapter 70 (Glass and glassware): For glass photo frames, especially those with glass backing or decorative elements.
- Chapter 83 (Miscellaneous articles of base metal): For metal photo frames (excluding those considered structural).
The GST rates for these chapters can vary. For instance, many articles of wood and plastic fall under the 12% or 18% GST slabs.
