Fevicol HSN Code for GST Filing
Fevicol type adhesives are widely used in carpentry, furniture making, interior work, handicrafts and many other applications. Traders, hardware stores and contractors deal in different grades of adhesive like wood glue, synthetic resin based adhesive and construction adhesive.
To use the Fevicol HSN code correctly and charge the right GST rate, it is important to understand how prepared adhesives are grouped under HSN, how industrial and household grades are treated and how the three slab structure of 5%, 18% and 40% after 22 September 2025 generally applies to these products.

How Adhesives Like Fevicol Are Classified Under HSN Code?
Under GST, most ready to use glues and pastes fall in the family that covers prepared glues and other prepared adhesives. This family normally applies whether the adhesive is supplied in small retail packs for home use or in larger containers for carpentry and industry.
Fevicol type products that are based on synthetic resins or similar binding material are usually treated as prepared adhesives rather than simple chemicals or resins. The detailed tariff entries separate retail packs and other forms but keep them under the same broad adhesive heading.

What Factors Decide the GST Rate for Fevicol Products?
Fevicol type adhesives are generally treated as standard goods that attract the regular 18% slab under the present three slab GST structure. This applies to most prepared adhesive products supplied in tins, buckets, tubes or small retail containers.
The GST rate can depend on factors such as whether the product is cleared as a prepared glue under the adhesive chapter, whether it is unbranded bulk material or a branded ready to use adhesive and whether any specific notification gives a concession for a particular type of adhesive.
If a product is clearly described and marketed as a prepared adhesive for carpentry, furniture work or general household fixing, it is usually safer to treat it as an 18% item unless a valid notification states otherwise. When there is doubt, businesses should avoid guessing and use neutral wording until proper clarity is available.
Why Different Adhesives May Fall Under Separate HSN Codes?
Not all adhesive products are identical in composition or use. Wood adhesives, construction adhesives, sealants, pressure sensitive adhesives and tape based products can sometimes fall in different tariff families depending on how they are formulated and presented.
For example, double sided adhesive tapes that are supplied as rolls may follow the family for self adhesive plates and films instead of the prepared glue family. Sealants and mastics that behave more like fillers or caulking compounds may also use other headings based on their main function.
Because of this, industrial adhesives for machinery or special construction work may be classified differently from simple household glue used for school projects or home repairs. The correct HSN depends on the technical description and the main use of the product.
How to Enter Fevicol HSN Code Correctly in GST Returns?
To enter Fevicol type adhesive supplies correctly in GST returns, start by fixing the correct HSN code and GST rate in the item master in your accounting software. All stock keeping units for these adhesives should carry the same adhesive family and the correct rate such as 18%.
When you raise sales invoices for carpentry work, furniture supply or hardware trade that includes Fevicol type adhesives, ensure that the invoice shows the HSN code and GST rate clearly against each adhesive line item. This allows buyers to claim input tax credit smoothly.
In GSTR one, the software will group invoice lines based on their HSN codes and generate HSN wise summaries. If the Fevicol family is mapped correctly, you will get a clean summary of the total value and tax paid for adhesive supplies, which helps during reconciliation and any future scrutiny.
Conclusion
Fevicol HSN code classification is based on the broader family for prepared glues and adhesives that covers most ready to use synthetic resin based products. Under the present GST slab structure, these adhesives usually attract 18% for normal supplies in retail and industrial channels.
By matching each adhesive product with the correct tariff description, fixing the right HSN code and GST rate in the item master and using these details on all purchase and sales invoices, businesses can issue accurate bills, support proper input tax credit and reduce the risk of disputes during GST assessments.
