What is the HSN code for cloth curtains?
Cloth curtains and ready made window curtains are normally classified under HSN code 6303. This heading covers curtains, drapes, interior blinds and similar textile articles used to cover doors and windows. When you sell finished curtains to customers, you generally use this HSN code on the invoice.
Is curtain fabric classified under a different HSN code?
Curtain fabric sold by metre can fall under fabric specific HSN codes such as headings for man made, cotton or blended fabrics. For example, many synthetic curtain fabrics fall under chapters 54 or 55 of the tariff. Traders must check the exact fibre content and fabric construction before choosing the final HSN code.
What is the HSN code for window curtains?
Readymade window curtains, door curtains and similar items used for home furnishing are normally covered in HSN 6303. If the product is a complete curtain with hooks, rings or channels ready to hang, it is treated as a made up article and not as simple fabric. The GST rate is then applied based on the curtain category and any value based slabs as notified.
How does GST apply to curtain fabrics?
GST on curtain fabrics depends on the fabric type and rate notification. Many common textile fabrics fall under the 5% or 12% bands, while some special technical fabrics may attract a higher rate. Businesses should match the fabric description with the schedule entry to avoid underpayment or overpayment of GST.
Are readymade curtains and fabric rolls classified differently?
Yes, there is a difference between fabric rolls and stitched curtains. Fabric rolls are classified under fabric headings, while stitched curtains are treated as made up furnishing articles under 6303. During GST filing, sellers should clearly show whether they sold fabric or finished curtains to avoid confusion in classification.
