The Wedding Card HSN Code
Wedding invitations are more than just pieces of paper; they are cherished keepsakes that announce one of life’s most significant events. For designers, printers, and vendors of wedding cards in India, understanding the correct Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code is crucial for accurate Goods and Services Tax (GST) compliance. The HSN code for wedding cards primarily falls under the classification for paper and paperboard products.
Classifying Wedding Cards: It’s All About the Paper
Wedding cards are essentially finished articles made from paper or paperboard. Therefore, their HSN classification will typically be found under Chapter 48: Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp, paper or paperboard.
The provided data extensively lists various types of “Uncoated Paper And Paperboard, Of A Kind Used For Writing, Printing Or Other Graphic Purposes.” While these entries describe the raw material from which wedding cards are made, the wedding card itself, being a finished printed article, would typically fall under a different, more specific heading within Chapter 48 that covers such items.
However, based solely on the provided data, the most relevant entries point to the base paper:
- Uncoated Paper And Paperboard, Of A Kind Used For Writing, Printing Or Other Graphic Purposes…: Many HSN codes are listed under this broad description, including 48026230, 48025640, 48023000, 48026240, 4802, 48025570, 48025710, 48026130, 48026920, 48025830, 48026290, 48025440, 48025650, 48025750, 48025560, 48025610, 48026140, 48026210. All these codes generally carry a 12% GST rate and were effective from July 1, 2017.
While these codes represent the paper itself, a finished wedding card (which is often printed, embossed, or otherwise embellished) would typically be classified as a “printed matter” or an “article of paper” that has undergone further processing. The HSN system has specific headings for “Printed Books, Newspapers, Pictures and Other Products of the Printing Industry; Manuscripts, Typoscripts and Plans,” usually within Chapter 49.
Important Note: The provided data does not directly list an HSN code for “Wedding Card” as a finished printed product. The listed codes refer to the types of paper used to make them. For the actual finished wedding card, you would likely look for headings such as:
- 4909: Printed or illustrated postcards; printed cards bearing personal greetings, messages or announcements, whether or not illustrated, with or without envelopes or trimmings. (This would be a very strong candidate for wedding cards if present in the full HSN list).
- 4911: Other printed matter, including printed pictures and photographs.
However, given the limited data, if a wedding card is considered primarily as a printed article of paper, and if it doesn’t fit into the more specific “card bearing personal greetings” category (HSN 4909), it might default to a general “other articles of paper” heading (e.g., within HSN 4823, which also attracts 18% GST for some items).
For the most accurate classification of a finished wedding card, it is essential to consult the complete HSN tariff schedule, particularly Chapters 48 and 49, and consider the exact nature of the product (e.g., if it’s primarily a blank card for printing vs. a fully finished, personalized invitation).
