Finding the Right HSN Code for Your Sealing Machine

In the world of packaging and manufacturing, sealing machines are indispensable. From sealing food products to securing industrial goods, these machines ensure product integrity and safety. For businesses operating in India, accurately identifying the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code for their sealing machines is vital for Goods and Services Tax (GST) compliance. The HSN code system, an internationally recognized classification, streamlines trade and tax calculations.

The majority of sealing machines fall under Chapter 84 of the HSN, which covers “Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof.” Within this broad chapter, specific HSN codes for sealing machines are typically found under Heading 8422. This heading is quite comprehensive, including:

Machinery for filling, closing, sealing or labeling bottles, cans, boxes, bags or other containers. This is the most direct classification for many common sealing machines. You’ll find specific sub-codes like 84223000 for such machinery.
Other packing or wrapping machinery (including heat-shrink wrapping machinery). This category, under HSN 84224000, also encompasses various types of sealing machines, especially those involved in broader packaging processes.

Most of the sealing machines classified under HSN 8422, including those for filling, closing, and sealing, generally attract an 18% GST rate. This rate has been consistently applied since July 1, 2017. However, it’s important to note that some older or specific categories within 8422, particularly those related to dishwashing machines or certain parts, might have historically had a 28% GST rate, but for dedicated sealing machinery, 18% is the prevalent rate as per current information.

When selecting the HSN code for your sealing machine, always consider its primary function and the type of containers it is designed to seal. While the HSN system aims for clarity, the specific description associated with each sub-code provides the most precise guidance for correct GST application.
