Classification of MS plates and steel sheets under HSN
To classify MS sheets correctly:
- Check if sheet is hot rolled or cold rolled
- Check width and thickness
- Confirm if it is in coils or cut to length
GST and steel products
MS sheets and plates usually attract 18 percent GST. Fabricators and traders should:
- Use the right heading such as 7208 or 7209
- Show clear description like "MS hot rolled sheet" or "MS plate"
- Claim ITC on purchase if used in taxable supplies
