Understanding Turpentine Oil HSN Code

Turpentine oil, a versatile substance derived from coniferous trees, finds applications in various industries, from paints and varnishes to pharmaceuticals. For businesses and consumers in India, understanding its Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code is crucial for accurate Goods and Services Tax (GST) compliance. Let’s delve into the specific HSN codes for turpentine oil and its related products, along with their applicable GST rates.

Turpentine Oil Under the HSN System

Turpentine oil and related terpenic oils are specifically categorized under Chapter 38 of the HSN: “Miscellaneous chemical products.” This chapter is dedicated to a wide range of chemical products not covered elsewhere, and it perfectly fits the chemical nature of turpentine oil.

The data provided clearly indicates the HSN codes for various forms of turpentine oil:

  • Gum, Wood Or Sulphate Turpentine Oils (HSN 3805): This is the overarching classification for turpentine oils.
    • Specific sub-headings like 380510 and its further breakdowns, including 38051010, 38051020, and 38051030, all refer to various types of “Gum, Wood Or Sulphate Turpentine And Other Terpenic Oils Produced By The Distillation Or Other Treatment Of Coniferous Woods.”
    • The consistent GST rate across all these entries is 18%. This rate became effective from 01/07/2017.
  • Pine Oil (HSN 38052000): “Pine Oil Containing Alpha-Terpineol As The Main Constituent” is also listed under Chapter 38. This is a related product often derived from similar processes. It also attracts an 18% GST rate, effective from 01/07/2017.
  • Other Terpenic Oils (HSN 380590): This covers “Other” terpenic oils from coniferous woods, with specific codes like 38059010, 38059020, 38059030, and 38059090. All these variations are also subject to an 18% GST rate, effective from 01/07/2017.

It is evident that all forms of turpentine oil and related terpenic oils are consistently taxed at an 18% GST rate under HSN Chapter 38. There is no CESS mentioned for these products in the provided data.

Turpentine Oil from Other “Oil” Products

The data contains other entries with “oil” in their description, but these are distinct from turpentine oil and fall under different HSN Chapters and tax rates:

  • Oil and Gas Pipelines (HSN 7305, 7306): These refer to tubes and pipes made of iron or steel used for transporting oil or gas, not the oil itself. They are under Chapter 73 (“Articles of iron or steel”) and have an 18% GST rate.
  • Ground-Nut Oil and Coconut Oil (HSN 1508, 1513): These are edible vegetable fats and oils used for consumption. They are under Chapter 15 (“Animal or vegetable fats and oils”) and have a 5% GST rate.
  • Oil-Cake (HSN 23050020): This is a residue from oil extraction, used in animal fodder. It’s under Chapter 23 (“Residues and waste from the food industries”) and has a 5% GST rate.
  • Residual Oil (HSN 27101969): This is a mineral oil product. It’s under Chapter 27 (“Mineral fuels, mineral oils”) and has an 18% GST rate.
  • Cocoa Butter, Fat And Oil (HSN 18040000): This is a cocoa preparation. It’s under Chapter 18 (“Cocoa and cocoa preparations”) and has an 18% GST rate.
  • Sulphur Recovered as By-Product in Refining of Crude Oil (HSN 25030010): This is a mineral product. It’s under Chapter 25 (“Mineral Products”) and has a 5% GST rate.
  • Niger Seed (Other Oil Seeds) (HSN 12079930): This is an oil seed used to extract oil. It’s under Chapter 12 (“Oil seeds and oleaginous fruits”) and has a 5% GST rate.

Therefore, while many products contain “oil,” only specific chemical formulations derived from coniferous woods are classified as “Turpentine oil” under HSN 3805.
