18% GST Goods - HSN 8310 to 8459

Updated as on 1 September 2026

Current GST reference for base-metal signs and welding products, engines, pumps, industrial machinery, agricultural-related machinery subsets, printing and textile machinery, and machine tools within HSN 8310 to 8459.

Current legal framework: Notification No. 9/2025-Integrated Tax (Rate), dated 17 September 2025, superseded Notification No. 01/2017-Integrated Tax (Rate). Schedule II prescribes 18% IGST; corresponding intra-State supplies ordinarily attract 9% CGST + 9% SGST/UTGST. The tariff-alignment amendment issued in 2026 has also been considered.
Effective date: the revised goods-rate schedules generally took effect from 22 September 2025. This is a statutory effective date and is retained. The webpage update date is 1 September 2026.

Important 5% Entries Within This Range

These specific descriptions fall under Schedule I at 5% and should not be treated as 18% merely because a wider Chapter 84 or related heading also contains 18% goods.

Important Classification Notes

Engines: the current 18% Schedule includes headings 8407, 8408 and 8409 generally, but aircraft engines, specified fixed-speed diesel engines up to 15 HP and specified agricultural tractor diesel engines are covered by specific 5% entries.

Pumps and irrigation: the current 18% Schedule contains specified pumps under 8413 and spraying machinery under 8424, while hand pumps, specified tractor hydraulic pumps, drip-irrigation equipment, sprinklers and mechanical sprayers are specifically covered at 5%.

Agricultural machinery: heading 8432, harvesting/threshing machinery under 8433 and agricultural/horticultural/forestry/poultry/bee-keeping machinery under 8436 are 5%. A separate 18% entry under heading 8433 applies to machines for cleaning, sorting or grading eggs, fruit or other agricultural produce and specified parts.

Sewing machines: heading 8452 is covered at 5%, whereas book-sewing machines remain within heading 8440 at 18%.

Dish-washing machines: under the current Schedule II, heading 8422 expressly includes household and other dish-washing machines at 18%; the earlier page's exclusion has therefore been removed.
