Importing Industrial Valves to India — Customs Duty Calculation

When importing industrial valves (HSN 8481) into India, the total customs duty is made up of several components calculated on the assessable value (CIF value + landing charges):

Duty Component	Rate	Basis
Basic Customs Duty (BCD)	7.5%	On Assessable Value (CIF + 1% landing)
Social Welfare Surcharge (SWS)	10% of BCD	On BCD amount only
IGST (Integrated GST)	18%	On (Assessable Value + BCD + SWS)
AIDC (Agriculture Infra Dev Cess)	Nil for 8481	—
Effective Total (approx.)	~27–28%	On CIF value

Note: Rates are indicative based on current Customs Tariff for HSN 8481. Verify with a licensed Customs Broker (CHA) and the official CBIC Customs Tariff before filing a Bill of Entry. Certain valves from countries with FTA (e.g., ASEAN, UAE CEPA, Japan CEPA) may attract lower or nil BCD.

Exporting Industrial Valves from India — HSN & Export Compliance

When exporting industrial valves from India, the same HSN codes apply for Shipping Bill filing. Export of valves from India is generally permitted under the Open General Export Licence (OGEL). No export duty applies to most industrial valves. Key documents required:

→Shipping Bill (with correct 8-digit ITC-HS export code)
→Commercial Invoice with HSN code declaration
→Packing List
→Certificate of Origin (CoO) — required for FTA benefits
→Material Test Reports (MTRs) — if required by buyer
→Third-party inspection certificate — if specified in LC / purchase order
→DGFT IEC (Importer-Exporter Code) for the exporter

Vajra Industrial Solutions (a unit of VajraVyuh Enterprise Pvt. Ltd.) supplies industrial valves for domestic and export use with full documentation support — MTRs, hydrostatic test certificates, 3rd-party inspection, and CoO.

FAQ — HSN Code for Industrial Valves

What is the HSN code for ball valves in India?

What is the HSN code for gate valves?

The HSN code for gate valves in India is 8481 80 14 (8-digit: 84818014). Gate valves — including wedge gate, slab gate, knife gate, and parallel slide gate valves — are classified under this 8-digit HSN code. GST rate: 18%.

What is the GST rate for industrial valves in India?

The GST rate for most industrial valves (HSN 8481) is 18% (IGST / combined CGST + SGST for intra-state). This applies to ball valves, gate valves, globe valves, butterfly valves, check valves, safety valves, and parts. GST is charged on the transaction value including freight, insurance, and landing charges.

What is the import duty on industrial valves in India?

For industrial valves imported into India (HSN 8481), the Basic Customs Duty (BCD) is typically 7.5%. Add Social Welfare Surcharge (10% of BCD = 0.75%) and IGST of 18% on the assessable value. The effective total import duty is approximately 27–28% (BCD + SWS + IGST). Check the current Customs Tariff on the CBIC website for exact rates as these may change with Union Budgets.

What is the HSN code for butterfly valves?

The HSN code for butterfly valves in India is 8481 80 12 (8-digit: 84818012). This covers all types: concentric, double-offset, triple-offset, wafer, lug, and flanged butterfly valves. GST rate: 18%.

What is the HSN code for check valves (non-return valves)?

The HSN code for check valves (non-return valves) in India is 8481 30 (8-digit: 84813000). This covers all non-return valve types: swing check, dual-plate, lift check, tilting disc, spring-loaded check, and foot valves. GST rate: 18%.

What HSN code is used for safety relief valves?

Safety and pressure relief valves are classified under HSN 8481 40 (8-digit: 84814000). This includes API 526 spring-loaded safety valves, IBR-certified steam safety valves, pilot-operated relief valves (PORV), and vacuum breaker valves. GST rate: 18%.

What is the difference between HSN code and SAC code for valves?

HSN (Harmonised System of Nomenclature) codes apply to goods, including industrial valves (HSN 8481). SAC (Services Accounting Code) codes apply to services such as valve installation, repair, or maintenance services. When buying valves as a product, use the HSN code. When hiring a contractor for valve installation, the service would have a SAC code.
