HSN Code for Keychain (Plastic+metal)

Hello All,

I am starting to sell keychains made up of metal and plastic. I am confused about what HSN code I should use and what will be tax rate for the same.

 

Thank you advance for your help.

Quick Summary
Classification of plastic and metal keychains under GST depends on product nature and usage. Commonly used HSN codes include 7117 for imitation jewellery or decorative items, with GST generally at 12%, though classification may vary by design and functionality.

HSN code 7117 imitation jewellery Tax rate 12%  OR HSN CODE  9505 other toys and models. tax rate 12% or 18%

  • General Rule for Mixed Materials: If plastic is the primary structural component, classify it under HSN 3926 at 18% GST. If metal dominates the composition, classify it under base metal categories (e.g., HSN 8308) at 18% GST.

  • Note on Precedence: Always verify the weight ratio and essential character of the specific product design being sold to choose between Chapter 39 (Plastics) and Chapter 83 (Base Metals).

For ordinary decorative keychains made of metal or plastic, classification generally depends on their essential character and construction—not simply on the material. They may fall under heading 7326 (other articles of iron or steel) or 3926 (other articles of plastics); key rings or chains of base metal may require separate consideration under heading 7315. The GST rate follows the final tariff classification, so confirm the product’s design, material composition and function against the current Customs Tariff and GST rate schedule before invoicing.

Accurate product classification should be built into your item-master and GST invoicing workflow from the outset. Manual classification across product lines is difficult, and automation reduces repetitive checks while leaving the professional judgment on classification and rate in your control.
