Understanding Skin Cream HSN Codes ✨
Based on the provided data, skin creams primarily fall under two main HSN categories, depending on their primary function:
- Beauty or Make-Up Preparations and Preparations for the Care of the Skin (Other Than Medicaments): This is the most direct category for general skin creams.
- HSN 33049910: Specifically for “Beauty Or Make-Up Preparations And Preparations For The Care Of The Skin (Other Than Medicaments)… Other: Other: Face Creams.” This code attracts an 18% GST rate, effective from November 15, 2017.
- More broadly, HSN 3304 covers “Beauty O R Make – U P Preparations And Preparations For The Care Of The Skin (Other Than Medicaments), Including Sunscreen Or Suntan Preparations; Manicure Or Pedicure Preparations.” The entire chapter related to cosmetics and skin care, including various sub-categories like sunscreen, nail polish, and eye make-up, consistently shows an 18% GST rate, with effective dates ranging from July 1, 2017, to November 15, 2017.
- Organic Surface-Active Products and Preparations for Washing the Skin: While not explicitly “skin cream” in the traditional sense, some products resembling creams, especially those designed for cleansing the skin and put up for retail sale, might fall here.
- HSN 34013019 (and related codes like 34013018, 34012000, 34011941) describes “Organic Surface-Active Products And Preparations For Washing The Skin, In The Form Of Liquid Or Cream And Put Up For Retail Sale, Whether Or Not Containing Soap.” These also consistently carry an 18% GST rate, effective from November 15, 2017. These are more akin to liquid soaps or cleansing creams.
Therefore, for most skin creams intended for beauty or general skin care (not medicated), the HSN code would be 33049910 or a broader code under 3304, consistently attracting an 18% GST rate. If the cream’s primary function is skin washing and it contains surface-active agents, it might fall under HSN 3401.
