Safety Shoes HSN Code
Understanding the correct HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code and GST rate for safety shoes is essential for manufacturers, suppliers, and buyers dealing in industrial safety equipment. This guide will help you identify the right classification under the GST regime for safety shoes and related products.
Know the HSN code for safety shoes
Safety shoes fall under Chapter 64 of the HSN code list, which pertains to “Footwear, gaiters and the like; parts of such articles.” Based on the available data:
- HSN Code: 640411
- Description: Sports Footwear; Tennis Shoes, Basketball Shoes, Gym Shoes, Training Shoes and the like
- Applicable for: This includes industrial safety shoes made with rubber or plastic soles and uppers of leather or synthetic material
- GST Rate: 18%
- Effective Date: 01/07/2017
- CESS: None
Although the description mentions sports shoes, safety shoes made for industrial protection are also commonly classified under this HSN when made from similar materials. For more specific classification, it’s advisable to refer to GST authorities or a tax expert.
Understand the GST rate applicable on safety shoes
The GST on safety shoes is 18%, as they fall under the general footwear category with protective or performance-related features. This rate applies to most safety shoes unless specifically notified otherwise.
Identify related HSN codes often confused with safety shoes
It is important to differentiate safety shoes from other safety-related products that fall under different HSN chapters, such as:
- Safety helmets – HSN: 65061010 (18%)
- Safety glass for vehicles – HSN: 70072110 (18%)
- Safety valves – HSN: 84814000 (18%)
- Safety razor blades – HSN: 821220 (18%)
These are not the same as safety shoes but often grouped under personal protective equipment (PPE).
Avoid misclassification of safety shoes
Since the HSN code 640411 covers a wide category of performance footwear, ensure you correctly identify the material and purpose of the safety shoes to avoid errors in GST filing. Industrial safety shoes with steel toes, anti-slip soles, or electrical resistance features generally qualify under this code.
Comply with GST rules when selling safety shoes
If you’re a seller or manufacturer of safety shoes:
- Use the correct HSN Code 640411
- Apply the 18% GST rate
- Maintain clear invoices mentioning the HSN code
- Keep documentation in case of GST audits
Know when to seek professional GST classification help
In some cases, if safety shoes are custom-made or combined with additional technology (like sensors), they might fall under different categories. It’s recommended to consult a GST practitioner in such cases.
