Under GST, they are treated as plastic pipes, so the correct HDPE pipe HSN code is needed. ## What is the HSN code for HDPE water pipes? Pipes and hoses of plastics, including HDPE pipes, usually fall under heading 3917. This heading covers tubes, pipes, and hoses of plastics including polyethylene (PE), PVC, and other polymers. ## HDPE Pipe HSN Code Classification and GST Rates Here are some commonly used HSN codes and GST rates for this category ### Section Classification | **Section Field** | **Section Value** | | --- | --- | | **Section No** | [**7**](https://busy.in/hsn/section-07/) | | **Section Title** | Guide to HSN Section 07 | | **Section Description** | PLASTICS AND ARTICLES THEREOF, RUBBER AND ARTICLES THEREOF | ### Chapter Classification | **Chapter Field** | **Chapter Value** | | --- | --- | | **Chapter No** | [**39**](https://busy.in/hsn/chapter-39/) | | **Chapter Title** | Plastics and Articles Thereof | | **Chapter Description** | Plastics and articles thereof | ### 4 Digit HSN Code Classification | **HSN Code** | **HSN Code Title** | **GST Rate** | | --- | --- | --- | | [**3917**](https://busy.in/hsn/sub-chapter-3917/) | Tubes, pipes and hoses, and fittings therefor (for example, joints, elbows,flanges), of plastics | **18%** | ### 8 Digit HSN Code Classification | **HSN Code** | **HSN Code Title** | **GST Rate** | | --- | --- | --- | | [**39171010**](https://busy.in/hsn/hsn-39171010/) | Artificial guts (sausage casings) of hardened protein | **18%** | | [**39171020**](https://busy.in/hsn/hsn-39171020/) | Artificial guts (sausage casings) of cellulosic materials | **18%** | | [**39172110**](https://busy.in/hsn/hsn-39172110/) | Rigid Tubes of Polyethylene | **18%** | | [**39172190**](https://busy.in/hsn/hsn-39172190/) | Other Rigid Tubes, Pipes & Hoses of Polymers of Ethylene | **18%** | | [**39172200**](https://busy.in/hsn/hsn-39172200/) | Rigid Tubes, Pipes & Hoses of Polymers of Propylene | **18%** | | [**39172310**](https://busy.in/hsn/hsn-39172310/) | Rigid Seamless Tubes of Polymers of Vinyl Chloride | **18%** | | [**39172390**](https://busy.in/hsn/hsn-39172390/) | Other Rigid Tubes, Pipes & Hoses of Polymers of Vinyl Chloride | **18%** | | [**39172910**](https://busy.in/hsn/hsn-39172910/) | Seamless vinyl acetate-chloride tubes: VinylFlex Tube | **18%** | | [**39172920**](https://busy.in/hsn/hsn-39172920/) | Polyacetals and Other Polymers | **18%** | | [**39172930**](https://busy.in/hsn/hsn-39172930/) | Other Tubes/Pipes with Fittings | **18%** | | [**39172940**](https://busy.in/hsn/hsn-39172940/) | Cellulose Acetate/Butyrate Tubes | **18%** | | [**39172950**](https://busy.in/hsn/hsn-39172950/) | Rigid Vinyl Plastic Tubes, Pipes & Hoses | **18%** | | [**39172990**](https://busy.in/hsn/hsn-39172990/) | Rigid plastic pipes | **18%** | | [**39173100**](https://busy.in/hsn/hsn-39173100/) | Polycarbonates and Other Polymers | **18%** | | [**39173210**](https://busy.in/hsn/hsn-39173210/) | Non-Reinforced Polymer Tubes/Pipes (Condensation/Rearrangement) | **18%** | | [**39173220**](https://busy.in/hsn/hsn-39173220/) | Addition Polymerization Tubes/Pipes/Hoses | **18%** | | [**39173290**](https://busy.in/hsn/hsn-39173290/) | Other Tubes/Pipes/Hoses | **18%** | | [**39173300**](https://busy.in/hsn/hsn-39173300/) | Condensation/Rearrangement Polymerization Product Tubes/Pipes | **18%** | | [**39173910**](https://busy.in/hsn/hsn-39173910/) | Flexible Unsaturated Polyester Sheets | **18%** | | [**39173920**](https://busy.in/hsn/hsn-39173920/) | Plastics: Addition Polymer Tubes, Pipes & Hoses | **18%** | | [**39173990**](https://busy.in/hsn/hsn-39173990/) | Other tubes, pipes and hoses: Other: Other | **18%** | | [**39174000**](https://busy.in/hsn/hsn-39174000/) | Fittings for tubes, pipes and hoses (e.g., joints, elbows, flanges) | **18%** | \* GST rates may vary based on the latest GST notifications ## Are HDPE drainage pipes classified differently under HSN? Drainage, sewerage, and irrigation pipes made from HDPE are still plastic pipes, so they also fall under 3917. The main use does not move them to a new chapter. ## How HDPE water pipes are classified under HSN? - Identify main material as polyethylene or similar plastic - Confirm that pipe is rigid or flexible tube type - Use heading 3917 with proper sub code ## GST and HDPE pipe products Most HDPE pipes attract 18 percent GST. Some projects for drinking water or irrigation may enjoy special rate under specific notifications, but that is linked to supply to government or project type. ## About the author **Fazeel Zaidi** I’m Fazeel Zaidi, a Chartered Accountant based in Prayagraj with 8 years of experience.
