The textile industry is vast and intricate, and so is its classification under the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN). Whether you’re a manufacturer, distributor, or retailer of textile fabrics, understanding the correct HSN codes is essential for accurate GST (Goods and Services Tax) compliance in India. The HSN system helps categorize products globally, ensuring uniformity in trade and taxation.
The HSN codes for textile fabrics are primarily found across several chapters, depending on the type of fabric, its material composition, and its intended use.
Chapter 58: Special woven fabrics; tufted textile fabrics; lace; tapestries; trimmings; embroidery This chapter covers specialized fabrics. For instance, Terry Towelling and similar woven terry fabrics of cotton fall under HSN code starting with 5802, such as 58021990 (for other than unbleached) and 58021940 (for printed). These typically attract a 12% GST rate, effective from July 1, 2017.
Chapter 59: Impregnated, coated, covered or laminated textile fabrics; textile articles of a kind suitable for industrial use This chapter is crucial for fabrics with specific treatments or industrial applications. Examples include:
It’s also important to note how textile fabric components are classified when incorporated into other items:
The GST rates for basic woven fabrics of natural fibers like cotton, silk, and wool are generally 5%. However, specialized fabrics and those with coatings often have a higher GST rate. Always ensure you classify your textile fabric correctly based on its precise nature and composition to adhere to GST regulations.
For cotton terry towelling, HSN codes like 58021990 (for other than unbleached) and 58021940 (for printed) apply.
The GST rate for cotton terry towelling fabric is 12%.
Textile fabrics coated with plastics, such as imitation leather fabrics of cotton with polyvinyl chloride, fall under HSN 59031010.
The GST rate for textile fabrics coated with plastics is 12%.
The GST rate for rubberised textile fabrics, including adhesive tape, is 12%.
The GST rate for hats made from textile fabric is 18%.
The GST rate for abrasive cloth on a woven textile base is 18%.
