HSN code 8005 falls under Chapter 80, which pertains to 'Tin and Articles Thereof'. This specific 4-digit heading, however, has an omitted 8-digit tariff line (80050000) in India. This usually indicates that specific products under this category might be covered by more granular codes elsewhere or that it's a transitional classification. For procurement and accounting purposes in India, understanding HSN 8005 requires looking at the broader scope of Chapter 80, which includes unwrought tin, bars, rods, profiles, wire, plates, sheets, foil, powder, and hollow profiles of tin. Buyers and sellers dealing with tin products must ensure correct classification to comply with customs duties and GST regulations.
What HSN 8005 Covers
HSN code 8005 is classified under Chapter 80, which exclusively deals with tin and its articles. However, the specific 8-digit tariff line, 80050000, is marked as 'Omitted' in the Indian Customs Tariff. This typically means that the items that might have fallen under this heading are now classified under more specific 8-digit codes within Chapter 80, or potentially other chapters if they are part of a composite product. Inclusions (by reference to Chapter 80):- Pure tin and tin alloys in primary forms (like ingots).
- Semi-finished products such as bars, rods, profiles, wire, plates, sheets, foil, powder, and hollow profiles of tin.
- Articles manufactured from tin, unless specifically excluded or classified elsewhere.
- Tin waste and scrap.
- Articles where tin is a minor component and the primary classification is based on another material.
- Manufactured goods where tin plating is a part of a larger assembly (e.g., tin-plated steel structures).
Common Materials & Grades
- Pure Tin Ingots (Grade 99.9% min): Primary form of tin, used in plating and alloys.
- Tin Alloys (e.g., Solder): Often lead-free alloys (Sn-Ag-Cu), used for joining metals.
- Tin Plates: Steel sheets coated with tin, for food packaging (cans).
- Tin Foil: Thin sheets of tin, used in capacitors and decorative applications.
- Tin Powders: Fine particles of tin, used in powder metallurgy and chemical applications.
Trade Names & Synonyms

Frequently Asked Questions about HSN 8005
What does HSN 8005 cover for Indian trade?
HSN 8005 is for 'Tin and articles thereof, including tin waste and scrap'. Since 80050000 is omitted, this heading likely covers specific finished products or is a legacy code. Transactions normally fall under more specific 8-digit codes if available, or broader Chapter 80 headings. Always verify with your CHA.
What are the GST implications for HSN 8005?
Given that 80050000 is omitted, there are no specific 8-digit entries. Traders should refer to the broader Chapter 80 for tin products. If dealing with pure tin or alloys not specified elsewhere, consult 8001 or 8007. GST implications will depend on the specific product and prevailing rates.
What is the typical GST rate for products under HSN 8005?
For HSN 8005, which has an omitted 8-digit code, it's best to examine related HSNs within Chapter 80. For instance, unwrought tin (8001) typically falls under an 18% GST slab.
