If you are someone who deals in sunflower oil and coconut oil then understanding the sunflower oil HSN Code and GST rate and the coconut oil GST rate is essential for your businesses. As a dealer in edible fats and oils, you need to learn Chapter 15 of the harmonised system of nomenclature (HSN) which covers animal and vegetable fats, oils, and related products. Let’s explore the tax structure and classification under the goods and services tax (GST) for these products.
HSN Code and GST Rate for Edible Oils
Different edible oils fall under separate HSN codes and GST slabs. Here is a breakdown of common oils and their corresponding tax rates: Sunflower Oil HSN Code and GST Rate Sunflower oil is widely used for cooking and food preparation. Under GST, it falls under HSN code 1512 and attracts a 5% GST rate. This low tax rate helps keep edible oil prices affordable for consumers. Coconut Oil GST Rate Coconut oil, used for cooking, hair care, and skincare, is classified under HSN code 1513. It also falls under the 5% GST rate, making it a budget-friendly choice for households and businesses.
