Understanding Sand HSN Code and Its Implications

The Harmonized System Nomenclature (HSN) code is a six-digit identification code used worldwide to classify goods for customs purposes. This system ensures uniformity in classifying traded goods, making international trade smoother. When it comes to “sand,” understanding its specific HSN code is crucial for businesses involved in its supply, export, or import. However, the provided data doesn’t directly list “sand” as a specific item with a single HSN code. Instead, it includes various wood products, bitumen, quartzite, silica sands, machinery, footwear, and granulated slag.

Therefore, directly assigning a single HSN code to “sand” based on this data is not possible. Different types of sand, depending on their origin, processing, and intended use, fall under various chapters and HSN codes within the Harmonized System.

FAQs

Which HSN code applies to silica sand?

The HSN code 250510 applies to Silica Sands and Quartz Sands.

What is the GST rate for silica sand?

Does granulated slag, also known as slag sand, have a specific HSN code?

Yes, Granulated Slag (Slag Sand) from the manufacture of iron or steel is classified under HSN code 26180000.

What is the GST rate for granulated slag sand?

The GST rate for granulated slag sand is 5%.

Do tar sands have a specific HSN code, and what is the GST rate?

Yes, Tar Sands are included under the HSN code 27149010 (Asphalt, Natural) and 27149020 (Bitumen, Natural), both with a GST rate of 18%.

Is there a single HSN code for all types of sand?

No, there isn’t a single HSN code for all types of sand. The classification depends on the type of sand (e.g., silica sand, mineral sand), its origin, and processing. For example, the data shows specific codes for silica sands and granulated slag sand.
