Know the Wax HSN Code and GST Rate

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.

Understand the HSN Codes for Essential Oils in Wax

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.

  • Concentrates in Wax: Essential oils and resinoids that are concentrated in fats, fixed oils, or waxes, obtained through processes like enfleurage, have a variety of HSN codes under Chapter 33, such as 33012928, 33019011, and 33012990.
  • GST Rate: The majority of these products are subject to an 18% GST rate, indicating that they are considered finished cosmetic or perfumery preparations. However, you will find some exceptions with a 12% GST rate, such as HSN codes 33019071, 33012924, and 33012911.

Classify Animal and Vegetable Waxes

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.”

  • Carnauba Wax: This is a popular vegetable wax used for polishing and other applications. You can find its HSN codes under 152110, specifically 15211019 for “Other” Carnauba waxes.
  • Beeswax and other Insect Waxes: Beeswax and other insect waxes are classified under HSN code 1521.
  • Other Vegetable Waxes: Any other vegetable waxes, besides triglycerides, are also classified under Chapter 15, with HSN code 15219090.
  • GST Rate: All of the natural waxes mentioned above are subject to an 18% GST rate.

Find the HSN Code for Moulded Wax Articles

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.”

  • Moulded or Carved Articles of Wax: Articles that are moulded or carved from wax, stearin, natural gums, or resins are classified under HSN code 96020030.
  • GST Rate: These finished wax articles attract an 18% GST rate, which was effective from November 15, 2017, and also July 1, 2017, as per the data.
