Wax is a versatile substance used in a wide array of products, from cosmetics and candles to industrial applications. If you’re a manufacturer, trader, or consumer in India, understanding the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code for wax is essential for GST compliance. The classification of wax depends heavily on its type, source, and how it’s used.
A significant category where wax is a component is in the creation of perfumery and cosmetic preparations. Essential oils, which are concentrated in waxes, are classified under Chapter 33.
Another major category for wax is based on its natural source. This falls under Chapter 15, which covers “Animal or vegetable fats and oils and their cleavage products; prepared edible fats; animal or vegetable waxes.”
If the wax has been worked or moulded into an article, it is no longer just raw wax. These products are classified under Chapter 96, which covers “Miscellaneous manufactured articles.”
The HSN code for Carnauba wax is 15211019.
Beeswax is classified under Chapter 15, along with other animal and vegetable fats and waxes.
Most waxes, including vegetable waxes and moulded articles, have an 18% GST rate.
Moulded wax articles have an 18% GST rate.
The GST rates for these products were effective from July 1, 2017, with some revisions on November 15, 2017.
Yes, the HSN code for vegetable waxes, beeswax, and other insect waxes applies whether or not they are refined or colored.
