Understanding the HSN Code for Stainless Steel Sheets
Stainless steel sheets are a cornerstone of modern manufacturing, finding applications from gleaming kitchen appliances to robust industrial infrastructure. For businesses involved in the trade, fabrication, or use of these versatile materials, understanding their correct HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code is paramount for seamless Goods and Services Tax (GST) compliance. Fortunately, the HSN classification for stainless steel sheets is well-defined, primarily falling under the “Iron and steel” chapter.
The Stainless Steel Sheet HSN Codes and GST Rates
Stainless steel sheets are predominantly classified under Chapter 72 of the HSN, which covers “Iron and steel.” The specific HSN code for a stainless steel sheet depends on its width, thickness, and the extent of its processing (e.g., hot-rolled, cold-rolled, or other further work).
Here’s a breakdown of the relevant HSN codes and their consistent 18% GST rate:
- Flat-Rolled Products Of Stainless Steel, Of A Width Of 600 Mm Or More – Other: Sheets And Plates: This category covers wide stainless steel sheets.
- Thickness 3 Mm To 4.75 Mm: HSN 72199012.
- Thickness Less Than 3 Mm: HSN 72199013.
- Thickness More Than 4.75 Mm: HSN 72199011.
- Flat-Rolled Products Of Stainless Steel, Of A Width Of 600 Mm Or More – Not Further Worked Than Cold-Rolled (Cold Reduced): This applies to wide sheets that have undergone cold rolling.
- Of A Thickness Of 0.5 Mm Or More But Not Exceeding 1 Mm: Other: HSN 72193490.
- Of A Thickness Of 4.75 Mm Or More : Chromium Type : Not Exceeding 14 Mm: HSN 72193111.
- Flat-Rolled Products Of Stainless Steel, Of A Width Of 600 Mm Or More – Not Further Worked Than Hot-Rolled, Not In Coils: This covers wide hot-rolled sheets that are not in coils.
- Of A Thickness Exceeding 10 Mm : Universal Plates Of Stainless Steel Or Heat Resisting Steel And Chromium Type : Exceeding 14 Mm: HSN 72192112.
- Of A Thickness Of 4.75 Mm Or More But Not Exceeding 10 Mm : Other : Other: HSN 72192299.
- Flat-Rolled Products Of Stainless Steel, Of A Width Of 600 Mm Or More – Not Further Worked Than Hot-Rolled, In Coils: This is for wide hot-rolled sheets in coil form.
- Of A Thickness Of 4.75 Mm Or More But Not Exceeding 10 Mm: HSN 72191200.
The key takeaway is that most flat-rolled products of stainless steel, whether in sheet or plate form, and regardless of their processing or specific dimensions within these common ranges, uniformly fall under Chapter 72 with an 18% GST rate.
