Hand-operated mechanical appliances, weighing 10 kg or less, used in the preparation, conditioning or serving of food or drink
Under the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN), the code 8210 specifically identifies hand-operated mechanical appliances, weighing 10 kg or less, used in the preparation, conditioning or serving of food or drink for the purpose of taxation and trade in Bharat. This ensures uniform classification across all Indian states and Union Territories.
"Classifying hand-operated mechanical appliances, weighing 10 kg or less, used in the preparation, conditioning or serving of food or drink correctly is critical to avoid litigation. While the base rate is 18%, always check for anti-dumping duties if importing, especially under the Tools & Cutlery category. AasanKhata automatically monitors these shifts for you."
