The World of Scrap HSN Codes and GST Rates

The term “scrap” covers a vast array of discarded materials, and consequently, its classification under the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code varies significantly. Understanding the correct HSN code for different types of scrap is crucial for accurate Goods and Services Tax (GST) compliance. This blog post breaks down the HSN codes and GST rates applicable to various categories of scrap based on the provided data.

Explore HSN Codes For Metal Scrap

Scrap metal is categorized under different chapters depending on the base metal:

  • Copper Scrap: Falls under HSN code 74040019 with a GST rate of 18%.
  • Vanadium Waste and Scrap: Classified under HSN code 81124020 with a GST rate of 18%.
  • Molybdenum Waste and Scrap: Covered by HSN code 81029700 with a GST rate of 18%.
  • Thallium Waste and Scrap: Designated by HSN code 81125200 with a GST rate of 18%.
  • Magnesium Waste and Scrap: Falls under HSN code 810420 with a GST rate of 18%.
  • Waste and scrap of other base metals like Beryllium, Chromium, Germanium, Gallium, Hafnium, Indium, Niobium (Columbium), Rhenium, Bismuth, Cadmium, and Cermets are generally included under their respective base metal categories (Chapter 81) with a GST rate of 18%.

Identify HSN Codes For Plastic Scrap

Waste, parings, and scrap of plastics are classified under Chapter 39:

  • Of Polymers of Styrene: HSN code 39152000 with a GST rate of 18% (effective from 13/10/2017).
  • Of Polymers of Vinyl Chloride (including copolymers): HSN code 39153010 with a GST rate of 18% (effective from 13/10/2017).

Understand HSN Codes For Textile Scrap (Rags)

Used or new rags and other textile waste fall under Chapter 63:

  • Sorted Gunny Cuttings: HSN code 63101030 with a GST rate of 12% (effective from 01/07/2017, revision on 15/11/2017).
  • Other (including scrap twine, cordage, rope, and cables): HSN code 63109090 with a GST rate of 12% (effective from 01/07/2017, revision on 15/11/2017).

Note HSN Codes For Other Types Of Waste And Scrap

The data also includes waste and scrap from other categories:

  • Wood Waste and Scrap: Classified under HSN code 4401 with a GST rate of 5%.
  • Scraping machinery (for earth, minerals, or ores) falls under HSN codes 84293000 and 8430 with a GST rate of 18% (effective from 15/11/2017). Pile extractors (for earth, minerals, or ores) fall under HSN code 84301020 with a GST rate of 18% (effective from 15/11/2017).

Observe Varying GST Rates Based On Material

The GST rate for scrap is not uniform and depends heavily on the material. Metal scrap generally attracts an 18% GST rate. Plastic scrap also has an 18% rate. Textile scrap (rags) is taxed at 12%, while wood waste and scrap have a lower rate of 5%. Machinery classified as scrapers or pile extractors also fall under the 18% GST bracket.

FAQs

What is the GST rate for metal scrap?

The GST rate for most metal scrap listed is 18%, though the specific HSN code depends on the type of metal.

What is the HSN code for plastic waste?

The HSN codes for plastic waste vary by the type of polymer. For polystyrene waste, it’s 39152000, and for vinyl chloride polymer waste, it’s 39153010, both with an 18% GST rate.

What is the GST rate for old rags?

Used or new rags fall under HSN codes 63101030 or 63109090, with a GST rate of 12%.

Is there a lower GST rate for wood scrap?

Yes, wood waste and scrap (HSN code 4401) have a GST rate of 5%.

Do scraping machines also fall under scrap HSN codes?

No, scraping machines for earth, minerals, or ores are classified under Chapter 84 (HSN codes 84293000 and 8430) and attract an 18% GST rate. These are the machines that create scrap in some contexts, not the scrap itself.
