Understand Plate HSN Code and Understanding its GST Rate

The term “plate” refers to a wide variety of flat objects used in diverse industries. Consequently, identifying the correct Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code for a specific type of plate is crucial for accurate Goods and Services Tax (GST) compliance. Based on the provided data, plates fall under various HSN codes depending on their material and application. Let’s break down these classifications and the corresponding GST rates.

Exploring HSN Codes for Industrial Plates

Several chapters and HSN codes cover plates used in industrial applications:

  • Chapter 72 (Iron and steel): This chapter includes various flat-rolled products classified as plates, such as universal plates of stainless steel (72192112), plates with patterns in relief of iron or non-alloy steel (72084010), and sheets of iron or non-alloy steel (72085330). The GST rate for these is 18%.
  • Chapter 75 (Nickel and articles thereof): Nickel plates fall under HSN code 75061000 with an 18% GST rate.
  • Chapter 81 (Other base metals; cermets; articles thereof): Plates of other base metals are included under HSN code 810295 with an 18% GST rate.
  • Chapter 90 (Optical, photographic…): Sheets and plates of polarising material are classified under 90014090 with an 18% GST rate.

Identifying HSN Codes for Plates in Machinery

Plates used as components in machinery are classified under Chapter 84 (Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery…):

  • Plates used in printing machinery fall under headings like 8442 and 8443, with HSN codes such as 84425050 and 84435910, attracting an 18% GST rate.

Recognizing HSN Codes for Plates in Other Applications

Plates appear in other contexts as well:

  • Chapter 40 (Rubber and articles thereof): Natural rubber in plates is classified under 40012200 with a 5% GST rate.
  • Chapter 71 (Pearls, precious stones…): Articles of jewellery might include plates of precious metal (71131910) with a 3% GST rate. Unwrought silver (71069100) and gold (7108) also have a 3% GST rate.
  • Chapter 94 (Furniture; bedding…): Illuminated name-plates fall under 940560 with an 18% GST rate.
  • Chapter 91 (Clocks and watches…): Plates of base metal used in clocks and watches are classified under 911320 with an 18% GST rate.
  • Chapter 73 (Articles of iron or steel): Plate warmers (73211120) and sole plates for railway tracks (73021010) also have an 18% GST rate.
