Solder wire is an indispensable material for electronics, plumbing, and various fabrication tasks, enabling the creation of strong, conductive joints. For businesses dealing with solder wire in India, understanding its correct HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code and the applicable GST (Goods and Services Tax) rate is fundamental for accurate financial records and smooth trade.
The HSN classification for solder wire falls under Chapter 83: “Miscellaneous articles of base metal.” This chapter is particularly relevant for various fabricated articles of base metal not specified elsewhere.
Specifically, solder wire, which is essentially a base metal product designed for welding, brazing, or soldering, is classified under HSN heading 8311. This heading covers “Wire, Rods, Tubes, Plates, Electrodes And Similar Products, Of Base Metal Or Of Metal Carbides, Coated Or Cored With Flux Material, Of A Kind Used For Soldering, Brazing, Welding Or Deposition Of Metal Or Of Metal Carbides; Wire And Rods, Of Agglomerated Base Metal Powders, Used For Metal Spraying; Cored Wire And Rods Of The Type Used For Welding Or Brazing.”
The data consistently shows that solder wire and similar products under HSN 8311 attract an 18% GST rate. This applies to various forms and compositions, including those cored with flux material, which is typical for modern solder wires. The 18% GST rate for these products has been effective since July 1, 2017, the nationwide implementation of GST.
It is crucial for businesses to use the specific HSN codes under 8311 (e.g., 83111000, 83113010, 83113090, 83119000) that best describe their solder wire product to ensure precise tax compliance. While other HSN codes might appear for general “wire” made of different metals (like copper, iron, or nickel) in the provided data, these are for raw wires or insulated wires, not the specialized “solder wire” used for joining metals.
Solder wire primarily falls under HSN Chapter 83.
Solder wire is classified under HSN heading 8311.
Solder wire typically attracts an 18% GST rate.
“Base metal” indicates that the primary metallic component of the solder wire is a non-precious metal (e.g., tin, lead, copper, zinc, nickel).
Accurate HSN classification ensures correct GST application, proper billing, and seamless compliance with tax regulations, preventing potential penalties.
