Understanding the HSN Code for Reflective Jackets

The HSN classification for reflective jackets can depend on their primary material and construction. We generally see them classified under two main chapters:

  • Chapter 62: Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted This chapter is the most common home for finished reflective jackets. The HSN code typically falls under headings that cover men’s or boys’ suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, and similar articles. While the data shows various jackets like “Bullet Proof Jacket, Bomb Disposal Jacket And The Like” (62104010) or “Mens Or Boys Suits, Ensembles, Jackets, Blazers, Trousers… – Jackets And Blazers : Of Wool Or Fine Animal Hair” (62033100), reflective jackets are often specifically categorized as “High Visibility Warning Clothes and the like (Conforming to IS 15809)” under HSN codes such as 62104030. Other general jacket HSNs within Chapter 62 (like 6203 or 6202) might also apply if the reflective elements are secondary to the garment’s primary function as a regular jacket.
  • Chapter 39: Plastics and articles thereof This chapter is relevant for the reflective sheeting or material used in the jacket, rather than the finished jacket itself. If you are dealing with the raw reflective material, it would fall under HSN 3920995, specifically “Retro Reflective Sheeting.” This includes:
    • 39209951: “Rigid, Plain” retro reflective sheeting.
    • 39209952: “Flexible, Plain” retro reflective sheeting.
    • 39209959: “Other” retro reflective sheeting.

Therefore, when classifying a “reflective jacket,” consider whether you are dealing with the finished garment (likely Chapter 62) or the raw reflective material (Chapter 39).

The GST Rate for Reflective Jackets

The GST rate for reflective jackets varies based on their classification:

  • For finished reflective jackets (under Chapter 62): Most articles of apparel and clothing accessories, including various types of jackets, fall under a 12% GST rate. This rate is applicable for jackets and similar garments, including those with reflective properties, as long as their sale value exceeds Rs. 1000 per piece. However, if the sale value does not exceed Rs. 1000 per piece, a 5% GST rate applies, as seen with some knitted or crocheted garments (e.g., within HSN 6103). The effective date for these rates was July 1, 2017.
  • For retro reflective sheeting (under Chapter 39): The reflective material itself (HSN 3920995x series) is subject to an 18% GST rate. This rate became effective from July 1, 2017.

Businesses must accurately determine the primary nature of the product to apply the correct HSN code and corresponding GST rate.
