Classification of Woolen and Cotton Blankets under HSN

Both woolen and cotton blankets fall under heading 6301. The main difference is in fibre content and construction rather than the HSN itself. Sub classifications may talk about whether the blanket is woven, knitted or non woven, but the heading used on tax invoices remains the same for most common blankets.

How Bed Blankets are Classified under HSN Code

Bed blankets of various sizes such as single, double or king are all grouped under the same heading as long as they have the character of a blanket. If a blanket is part of a complete bedding set, the classification may depend on which part gives the set its essential character. Traders should keep product descriptions clear on invoices.

GST Impact on Blanket Products in India

Many blankets for normal household use enjoy a concessional GST rate, commonly 5 percent, especially where the selling price per piece stays within a notified limit. Premium or high value blankets may be covered by separate conditions, so businesses should always check the latest rate notifications while fixing prices.

What is the HSN code for woolen blankets?

Woolen blankets are normally classified under heading 6301, which covers blankets and travelling rugs.

Does the type of fabric affect the HSN code for blankets?

The main heading 6301 remains the same for most blankets, but the fibre type such as wool, cotton or synthetic can affect sub classification and reporting.

How do cotton and woolen blankets differ in classification under HSN?

Both use heading 6301, but cotton blankets are identified in records as cotton based goods, while woolen blankets are identified as wool based goods for customs and GST reporting.

Are bed blankets categorized differently from other blankets under HSN?

Bed blankets and other general use blankets usually share the same heading. Special items like certain travelling rugs may have specific descriptions within that heading.

How does GST impact the sale of blankets?

Blankets for normal use often attract GST at 5 percent, which keeps them affordable. Use of the correct HSN and rate helps sellers and buyers avoid future tax disputes.
