HSN 8111 — MANGANESE AND ARTICLES THEREOF, INCLUDING WASTE AND SCRAP

Other Base Metals (Tungsten, Molybdenum, Tantalum, Titanium etc.)

HSN 8111, under the heading 'Manganese and articles thereof, including waste and scrap', covers pure manganese metal in various forms and products manufactured directly from it. This HSN is crucial for Indian businesses dealing with manganese not integrated into iron and steel alloys. Procurement teams, customs house agents (CHAs), and accountants use this code for accurate classification of unwrought manganese, powders, and manufactured articles falling outside the broader Chapter 72 (Iron and Steel). Understanding HSN 8111 ensures correct customs duties, GST application, and efficient inventory management for manganese-based industrial inputs. MetaleMart's catalog supports buyers seeking specific manganese forms if available outside standard alloys.

What HSN 8111 Covers

HSN 8111 is dedicated to 'Manganese and articles thereof, including waste and scrap'. This heading specifically encompasses pure manganese metal, whether in unwrought forms like ingots or blocks, or processed into powders, bars, rods, plates, sheets, wire, or other manufactured articles made directly from manganese. It also includes recyclable materials such as waste and scrap of pure manganese. The key differentiator for classification under HSN 8111 is that the product must be predominantly manganese metal itself, not an alloy where manganese is a constituent element alongside iron or other base metals. For instance, while manganese steel falls under Chapter 72, pure manganese electrodes or pure manganese powders used in specific chemical applications would be classified here. Buyers and CHAs must distinguish between pure manganese products (HSN 8111) and manganese-containing alloys or steels (typically Chapter 72). Waste and scrap explicitly refer to discarded items composed primarily of manganese metal.

Common Materials & Grades

  • Pure Manganese (Unwrought): Primary manganese metal, often in ingots or blocks.
  • Manganese Powder: Finely divided manganese metal used in specific chemical or metallurgical processes.
  • Manganese Bars/Rods: Solid forms of pure manganese manufactured into basic shapes.
  • Manganese Plates/Sheets: Flat-rolled products made directly from manganese metal.
  • Manganese Wire: Drawn forms of pure manganese.
  • Manganese Waste and Scrap: Reusable discarded materials of pure manganese.

Trade Names & Synonyms

  • Pure Manganese
  • Manganese Metal

GST Rate (Indicative)

Manganese and its articles under HSN 8111 typically fall within the 18% GST slab. However, this can vary based on the specific product form and application. Always verify the current GST rate on the official CBIC portal or consult your tax advisor.

Frequently Asked Questions about HSN 8111

Does HSN 8111 cover manganese alloys like ferromanganese?

Under HSN 8111, pure manganese is covered. However, ferroalloys of manganese, which are crucial in steelmaking, typically fall under HSN 7202.21 or 7202.29 depending on the manganese content. Always verify the specific classification based on composition and application with your CHA.

What types of 'articles' made of manganese are covered under HSN 8111?

Yes, articles made from manganese, including manufactured items like plates, bars, powders, and even waste and scrap of manganese, are classified under HSN 8111. This ensures comprehensive coverage for all forms of manganese traded in India.

Is manganese steel classified under HSN 8111?

HSN 8111 primarily covers unwrought manganese, powders, and articles directly manufactured from manganese itself. Items where manganese is a minor component or alloy element, like many steel grades, would fall under Chapter 72 (Iron and Steel). Consult your CHA for precise classification.

Are manganese ores or ferroalloys classified under HSN 8111?

HSN 8111 covers pure manganese and its direct articles. For procurement of manganese ore, classification is typically under HSN Chapter 26. For ferroalloys, refer to HSN 7202. Always confirm with customs documentation and your CHA when importing or exporting manganese-related materials.
