Section XV questions
What does Section XV of the HSN cover?
Section XV (Base metals and articles of base metal) covers chapters 72-83 of the Harmonized System. It groups 148 headings and 1,302 8-digit HSN codes that belong to this product family.
Do I use the section number anywhere in GST filings?
No. GST invoices, GSTR-1 and customs documents use the numeric HSN code (4, 6 or 8 digits), never the section numeral. The section only tells you which part of the classification to explore. Open a chapter below to reach the specific code for your product.
How do I find the exact HSN code inside Section XV?
Open the chapter that matches your product type, then drill into the 4-digit heading and 6-digit subheading until you reach the 8-digit code whose description matches your product. Each code page shows its GST schedule mapping, the CGST and SGST split and a calculator. If you are unsure, IncorpX provides assistance for GST registration and helps identify the correct codes.
What GST rate applies to goods in Section XV?
GST rates are set per code, not per section, so different chapters and codes inside this section can carry different slabs. Open an 8-digit code page to see the schedule rows mapped to it, and always verify the current rate on the CBIC GST portal before invoicing or filing.
