What is the HSN code of plant and machinery?

The Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code for plant and machinery typically falls under Chapter 84 or Chapter 85 of the HSN classification. These chapters encompass a wide range of machinery and equipment. To get a more precise HSN code for a specific type of plant or machinery, you would need to refer to the detailed HSN code list, which provides codes for different categories of machinery based on their characteristics and uses. This list is generally maintained and updated by the government or relevant authorities in your country.

What is the HSN code for machinery services?

The HSN code primarily applies to goods and products rather than services. HSN codes are designed to classify and categorize tangible goods for taxation and trade purposes. Services, on the other hand, are typically classified under different coding systems, such as the Services Accounting Code (SAC) in India. Therefore, there is no specific HSN code for machinery services. To classify and tax machinery-related services, you would need to consult the appropriate service tax code or classification system in your country.

What is the HSN code for used machinery?

The HSN code for used machinery would generally depend on the specific type of machinery being traded or transported. HSN codes are primarily designed for classifying new or unused goods, so the concept of "used machinery" doesn't have a distinct HSN code. To classify used machinery for taxation or trade purposes, you would typically use the same HSN code that applies to the equivalent new machinery, possibly with additional documentation or labeling to indicate its used condition. However, specific regulations may vary by country, so it's advisable to consult with your local customs or taxation authorities for precise guidelines on classifying and coding used machinery.
