What’s the HSN Code for Pickle?

Pickles are a beloved staple in many cuisines, offering a burst of flavor and a rich culinary tradition. For businesses involved in the manufacturing, distribution, or sale of edible pickles, understanding the correct Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code is vital for accurate Goods and Services Tax (GST) compliance. It’s crucial to distinguish between edible pickles and other items that might use the term “pickled” in their description.

Navigating Pickle HSN Codes and GST Rates

The provided data contains entries that use the word “pickled” but refer to raw hides and skins (Chapter 41) or even a specific type of preserved fish (Chapter 16). These are not the HSN codes for the edible pickles we typically consume.

For edible pickles, which are food preparations, the classification primarily depends on their ingredients. While the provided data doesn’t explicitly list common vegetable/fruit pickles, it does offer a relevant entry for a type of preserved food:

  • For Prepared or Preserved Fish (specifically, pickled herrings):
    • HSN Chapter: 16 (Preparations of meat, of fish or of crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates)
    • HSN Code: 16041210 (Prepared Or Preserved Fish; Caviar And Caviar Substitutes Prepared From Fish Eggs Fish, Whole Or In Pieces, But Not Minced : Herrings : Pickled)
    • GST Rate: 12%
    • Effective Date: 01/07/2017

General Classification for Edible Pickles (Vegetable/Fruit Pickles):

Since most common Indian pickles are made from vegetables or fruits, they usually fall under:

  • HSN Chapter: 20 (Preparations of vegetables, fruit, nuts or other parts of plants)
  • HSN Heading: 2001 (Vegetables, fruit, nuts and other edible parts of plants, prepared or preserved by vinegar or acetic acid)
  • Likely HSN Code: 20019000 (Other, prepared or preserved by vinegar or acetic acid). This is the most common HSN for vegetable/fruit pickles.
  • GST Rate: Typically 12%.

Therefore, when dealing with edible pickles, specifically those made from vegetables or fruits, you should primarily look for HSN codes under Chapter 20, with the most common being 20019000, generally attracting a 12% GST.
