What are the Gst Rates and Hsn Code on Home Decor Painted Glass Bottle Handicraft Goods?

I would want to know the gst rate and the hsn code for handcrafted home decor items made from glass bottles painted with acrylic colours.

Painted glass bottle handicraft items for home decor have the following classification:

1. HSN Code: Painted/decorated glass bottles used as home decor items fall under:
- HSN 7013: Glassware of a kind used for table, kitchen, toilet, office, indoor decoration or similar purposes (other than that of heading 7010 or 7018). This covers decorative glass articles including painted/decorated bottles.
- Alternatively HSN 9701 or 9999 if classified as hand-crafted art items.

2. GST Rate on HSN 7013: 18% GST on most glassware under 7013.

3. Handicraft Exemption/Concession: If the items are manufactured by an artisan/craftsperson using manual skills (without the use of electrically operated equipment other than those approved), they may qualify as handicrafts and could attract a lower GST rate or exemption under specific notifications.
- Handicraft goods supplied by a registered supplier attract 12% GST in many cases.
- As per GST Council decisions, handicraft items produced by craftsmen were included in the concessional rate notifications.

4. E-Commerce for Handicrafts: If selling on e-commerce platforms (Amazon, Flipkart, Etsy), the e-commerce operator collects TCS — ensure your GSTIN is correctly linked.

5. Practical Advice: Take a position on HSN 7013 at 18% unless you can clearly establish that the items are hand-crafted under the definition in the handicraft notifications. For high-volume businesses, consider obtaining an advance ruling from your state GST authority for certainty.

6. Export: If exporting these painted glass handicrafts, they are zero-rated under GST with LUT.
