The Diverse HSN Codes for Tiles

When you’re dealing with tiles, whether for flooring, walls, or roofs, understanding the applicable Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code is essential for GST compliance. The provided data reveals that “Tiles” isn’t a monolithic category under the HSN system. Instead, the classification depends heavily on the material and usage of the tiles.

Exploring HSN Codes Based on Tile Material

The data highlights several chapters and HSN codes relevant to different types of tiles:

  • Glass Tiles: These are covered under Chapter 70 (Glass and glassware) with HSN codes 70161000 and 70169000, both attracting an 18% GST rate.
  • Cement, Concrete, or Artificial Stone Tiles: Chapter 68 (Articles of stone, plaster, cement…) includes various HSN codes for these tiles, such as 68101990, 68101910, and potentially 68101190 (for building blocks and bricks which can sometimes be in tile form). The GST rate is consistently 18%.
  • Asbestos-Cement or Cellulose Fibre-Cement Tiles: These fall under HSN codes 68112020 and 68112090, also with an 18% GST rate. Asbestos-cement sheets (68112010) also share this rate.
  • Fly Ash Bricks and Tiles: Interestingly, 68159910 specifically mentions “Bricks And Tiles Of Fly Ash” with a lower GST rate of 5%.
  • Ceramic Tiles: Chapter 69 (Ceramic products) is a significant category for tiles, encompassing:
    • Unglazed ceramic tiles under HSN codes starting with 6907, with an 18% GST rate for 690718 and 69071090.
    • Glazed ceramic tiles under HSN codes starting with 6908, with a 0% GST rate mentioned for 69081090 and 69089010. It’s important to verify if this 0% rate is current as the effective date is 01/07/2017.
    • Refractory ceramic tiles under various subheadings of 6902, generally with an 18% GST rate (e.g., 690218, 69022090, 69021010, 69021030).
    • Roofing tiles under HSN code 69051000 with a 12% GST rate.
  • Plastic Floor or Wall Tiles: Chapter 39 (Plastics and articles thereof) covers these under HSN codes starting with 3918, with an 18% GST rate for 3918 and specifically 39189020.

FAQs

Is there a single HSN code for all types of tiles?

No, there isn’t a single HSN code for all tiles. The code depends on the material (e.g., ceramic, glass, plastic) and the specific type (e.g., floor tile, wall tile, roofing tile).

Where can I find the HSN code for a specific tile?

To find the exact HSN code, you need to know the material composition and intended use of the tile. Consulting the official GST tariff or a tax professional is recommended for accurate classification.
