For businesses and consumers, a clear understanding of HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) codes is crucial for seamless GST (Goods and Services Tax) compliance. When it comes to everyday home textiles, such as pillow covers, the classification is specific and depends on a few key details. The HSN code for pillow covers, also known as pillow slips or pillow cases, is found under a category for other made-up textile articles.
Pillow covers fall under Chapter 63, which covers “Other made-up textile articles; sets; worn clothing and worn textile articles; rags.” The specific HSN code is 6304. This heading is for “Other furnishing articles, excluding those of heading 9404,” which typically refers to the pillow itself.
Within this heading, the codes for pillow cases and pillow slips are more detailed:
This distinction between handloom and non-handloom products is important for tax purposes, as it can sometimes affect the GST rate.
The GST rate on pillow covers is generally 12%. This rate applies to both handloom and non-handloom varieties and has been in effect since July 1, 2017. However, for products with a sale value not exceeding ₹1000 per piece, the rate may be 5%. This is a key detail for businesses selling both budget-friendly and premium products.
It is important to note the difference in classification and GST rates between a pillow cover and the pillow itself. The pillow, which is a stuffed furnishing, falls under a different chapter, usually Chapter 94. Its HSN code is typically 9404, and it is subject to a different GST rate, often higher than that of the cover. This is a crucial distinction for manufacturers and retailers to ensure they are charging and reporting the correct tax.
The primary HSN code is 6304.
The HSN code is 63049239.
The GST rate is typically 12%, though it can be 5% for products with a sale value not exceeding ₹1000 per piece.
Cushion covers are also classified under HSN 6304, with specific sub-codes like 63049120 for woolen cushion covers.
No, the GST rates are different. Pillow covers are typically 12%, while pillows are often taxed at a higher rate.
