The term “Rai” can refer to different products, leading to confusion when determining the correct HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code for GST purposes. Depending on the context, “Rai” could refer to mustard seeds, various railway-related items, or even certain types of clothing. This blog will clarify the HSN codes and GST rates associated with each of these distinct “Rai” categories based on the provided data.
When “Rai” refers to mustard seeds, a common spice and oilseed in India, its HSN classification falls under Chapter 12: “Oil seeds and oleaginous fruits, miscellaneous grains, seeds and fruit; industrial or medicinal plants; straw and fodder.”
The term “Rai” frequently appears in descriptions related to “Railway or tramway locomotives, rolling-stock and parts thereof; railway or tramway track fixtures and fittings and parts thereof; mechanical (including electro-mechanical) traffic signalling equipment of all kinds.” These items generally fall under Chapter 86 or Chapter 73.
While less common, “Rai” might also be a phonetic association with “Rain” as in “Raincoats.”
“Rai” is not an HSN code itself; it refers to different products like mustard seeds, railway components, or even rainwear, each with its own HSN code.
Mustard seeds (Rai) are commonly classified under HSN code 12075090.
Mustard seeds (HSN 12075090) typically have a 5% GST rate.
Wooden railway sleepers are classified under HSN 44069000, with a 12% GST rate.
Railway transport services for goods (HSN 996512) and pushing/towing services (HSN 996731) are generally Nil rated for GST, subject to specific conditions.
