HSN code by grade and product
The Indian tariff splits stainless steel by grade type, not by individual grade, so SS 304 and SS 316 share the same code for the same product; nickel alloys and titanium sit in separate chapters altogether. GST is 18% throughout.
| Grades | Tariff classification | Sheet / plate / coil | Bar / rod | Pipe / tube | Flanges & fittings |
|---|
| SS 304, 304L, 304H, 316, 316L, 316Ti, 317L, 321, 347, 310S, 904L, 202, 201 (austenitic) | Austenitic / nickel-chromium type | 7219 .. 20 (CR sheet) | 7222 20 12 bright · 7222 11 92 black | 7306 40 00 welded · 7304 41 00 seamless | 7307 21/22/23/29 |
|---|
| SS 409, 410, 420, 430, 440C (chromium type) | Chromium type (ferritic / martensitic) | 7219 .. 10 (CR sheet) | 7222 20 11 bright | 7306 40 00 welded · 7304 41 00 seamless | 7307 21/22/23/29 |
|---|

|---|
Within heading 7219 the last two digits mark the grade type: codes ending 20 are austenitic (nickel-chromium) such as 304 and 316, and codes ending 10 are chromium type such as 410 and 430. The middle digits follow rolling condition and thickness, listed in the 7219 table below.
Common questions
What is the HSN code for SS pipe?
Welded stainless steel pipe of round section is HSN 7306 40 00. Seamless stainless pipe is 7304 41 00 when cold-drawn or cold-rolled and 7304 49 00 otherwise. Square and rectangular welded SS tube is 7306 61 00. GST is 18%.
What is the HSN code for SS sheet and plate?
Stainless flat products 600 mm wide or more are heading 7219; narrower strip is 7220. The 8-digit code depends on hot or cold rolling, thickness and whether the grade is chromium type (400 series) or nickel-chromium austenitic (300 and 200 series). For example, cold rolled SS 304 sheet over 1 mm and under 3 mm is 7219 33 20. GST is 18%.
What is the HSN code for SS round bar?
Stainless bars and rods are heading 7222. Bright (cold finished) austenitic bars such as SS 304 and SS 316 are 7222 20 12; black hot rolled austenitic round bars are 7222 11 92; bright 400-series bars are 7222 20 11. GST is 18%.
What is the GST rate on stainless steel?
Stainless steel pipes, sheets, plates, coils, bars, wire, flanges and fittings under headings 7219–7223, 7304, 7306 and 7307 attract 18% GST.
Is the HSN code different for SS 304 and SS 316?
No. The tariff classifies stainless steel by grade type, not by individual grade. SS 304 and SS 316 are both nickel-chromium austenitic steels, so a cold rolled sheet of either in the same thickness carries the same 8-digit code, and so do their pipes, bars and fittings. SS 410 and SS 430 are chromium type and take different codes.
What is the HSN code for Inconel, Monel and Hastelloy?
They are nickel alloys under Chapter 75, not stainless steel: plates, sheets and strip 7506 20 00, bars and rods 7505 12 20, hollow bars 7505 12 10, wire 7505 22 00, tubes and pipes 7507 12 00, and tube or pipe fittings 7507 20 00. GST is 18%.
What is the HSN code for duplex 2205?
Duplex is a stainless steel, so it uses the Chapter 72 and 73 stainless headings: 7219 or 7220 for flat products, 7222 for bars, 7306 40 00 for welded pipe, 7304 41 00 / 7304 49 00 for seamless pipe and 7307 2 for fittings, generally under the "other" sub-headings rather than the austenitic or chromium-type ones. GST is 18%.
What is the HSN code for titanium?
Wrought titanium products such as bars, plates, sheets and tubes fall under 8108 90 10; unwrought titanium and powders under 8108 20 00. GST is 18%.
What is the HSN code for EN8, EN19 and EN24 round bars?
EN19, EN24, EN31 and EN36 are alloy steels: hot rolled black bars are commonly 7228 30 29 and bright or cold finished bars 7228 60 12 or 7228 50 90, with forged bars under 7228 40 00. EN8 and EN9 are non-alloy carbon steels and fall under 7214 hot rolled or 7215 cold finished. GST is 18%. Confirm the exact sub-heading against the chemistry, because the alloy / non-alloy boundary is defined by element limits in the tariff.
What do "chromium type" and "nickel-chromium austenitic type" mean in the tariff?
Chromium type covers ferritic and martensitic stainless steels such as 409, 410, 420 and 430. Nickel-chromium austenitic type covers 304, 316, 321, 310S and the 200 series. Duplex and other grades usually fall under "other".
