The Printer HSN Code: A Detailed Guide
The Harmonized System Nomenclature (HSN) code is a global system for classifying goods, crucial for taxation and international trade. When it comes to “printers,” the specific HSN code is primarily found under Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof. This chapter includes a dedicated heading for printing machinery.
Based on the provided data, the main HSN code for printers and related items is 8443, which covers: “Printing machinery used for printing by means of plates, cylinders and other printing components of heading 8442; other printers, copying machines and facsimile machines, whether or not combined; parts and accessories thereof.”
Within this broad heading, various sub-classifications exist, often with a GST rate of 18% (effective 15/11/2017 and 01/07/2017):
- 84439920, 84439990: These are general codes for “Printing Machinery Used For Printing By Means Of Plates, Cylinders…” and “Other Printers, Copying Machines And Facsimile Machines…”
- 84439951: This specifically refers to “Parts And Accessories — Other” for the machinery under heading 8443.
- 84431930, 84439910, 84433220, 844318, 84431949, 84433930, 84431100, 84431920, 84431500, 84433100: These are further sub-classifications likely based on the printing technology (e.g., offset, inkjet, laser) or the specific type of machine (e.g., printers combined with copiers or fax machines).
Interestingly, the data also lists typewriters under HSN code 8469, with a GST rate of 0%:
- 84693090: Other Typewriters, Non-Electric: Other
- 84692090: Other Typewriters, Electric : Other
- 84692010: Braille Typewriters
- 84690020: Automatic Typewriters
- 84690030: Braille Typewriters Electric
- 84690040: Braille Typewriters Non-Electric
This distinction highlights that while typewriters were a precursor to modern printers, they are classified separately under the HSN system.
Finally, HSN code 40170030 refers to “Printers Rollers” made of hard rubber, with a GST rate of 18% (effective 15/11/2017 and 13/10/2017), indicating that specific parts of printing machinery can also have their own classifications based on their material.
In summary, the primary HSN code for various types of printers falls under 8443, with sub-classifications determining the exact code based on the printer’s technology and functionality.
