Stainless steel railings are a popular choice for their durability, aesthetic appeal, and corrosion resistance, finding extensive use in residential, commercial, and industrial structures. For businesses dealing with these components in India, understanding the correct Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code is vital for accurate Goods and Services Tax (GST) compliance. The HSN code, an internationally recognized system, streamlines the classification of goods for taxation and trade.
While the provided data lists various stainless steel raw materials like flat-rolled products, bars, rods, and wire (under HSN Chapter 72: Iron and steel), a complete stainless steel railing, or its fabricated parts, moves beyond the raw material stage.
Finished stainless steel railings, being a structural component of buildings or other constructions, typically fall under HSN Chapter 73: Articles of iron or steel. More precisely, they are categorized under HSN 7308. This heading covers: “Structures (excluding prefabricated buildings of heading 9406) and parts of structures (for example, bridges and bridge-sections, lock-gates, towers, lattice masts, roofs, roofing frameworks, doors and windows and their frames and thresholds for doors, shutters, balustrades, pillars and columns), of iron or steel; plates, rods, angles, shapes, sections, tubes and the like, prepared for use in structures, of iron or steel.”
Within HSN 7308, the most common sub-code for stainless steel railings and their fabricated parts is 73089090. This code is a general “Other” category for structures and parts of structures of iron or steel not specifically mentioned elsewhere in HSN 7308. Since railings are essentially structural elements, this classification is appropriate. Some sources also indicate that HSN 7302 (Railway or tramway track construction material, including rails) or HSN 8302 (Base metal mountings, fittings and similar articles suitable for furniture, doors, staircases, etc.) could be used depending on the specific application or if it’s a fitting rather than a complete structure. However, for a complete railing system or its primary structural components, HSN 73089090 is widely accepted.
The applicable GST rate for stainless steel railings classified under HSN 73089090 is 18%. This rate has been consistent since the implementation of GST on July 1, 2017. Businesses must correctly identify this HSN code to ensure proper invoicing, claiming input tax credit, and avoiding any compliance issues.
HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) is the international system used to classify stainless steel railings for GST purposes in India.
Finished stainless steel railings are generally covered under HSN Chapter 73: Articles of iron or steel.
Based on the standard GST rates for HSN 7308, there is typically no CESS applicable on stainless steel railings.
No, raw materials like stainless steel pipes, bars, or sheets typically fall under HSN Chapter 72 (Iron and steel) before being fabricated into a railing.
