Stainless Steel Sheet HSN Code & GST Rate (2026): SS 304, 316, 202 & Patta
Stainless-steel sheet falls under HSN 7219 for width 600 mm or wider, and HSN 7220 for anything narrower, with an 18% GST rate applied across the board. The 8-digit code turns on the rolling process and thickness, not the alloy grade. That's why SS 304, 316 and 202 sheet in the same form end up sharing a code. Below is the full HSN list for stainless-steel flat products: sheet, plate, coil, and strip known as patta-patti. It covers the 8-digit breakdown of headings 7219 and 7220, a quick lookup by grade, and the current GST rate, all in one place so you can get the right code onto a GST invoice.
By the Relinox Technical Team, Jindal Stainless MoU Partner, based at Ajmeri Gate, one of Delhi's main stainless steel markets.
Jindal Stainless supplies stainless-steel flat products, and the HSN codes listed here fall under Chapter 72 (iron & steel) for that category alone. Pipes and tubes sit under a separate heading, 7306, while scrap goes under 7204. Neither is covered on this page, and neither falls within Relinox's supply. The material here comes through a Jindal Stainless (JSL) MoU partnership, and that's the only "Jindal" this page has anything to do with. It has nothing to do with Jindal SAW, JSW Steel, or Jindal Steel & Power (JSPL); those are carbon-steel and pipe businesses, a different world entirely. As for the 8-digit strings, they're the standard India Customs Tariff / ITC-HS First Schedule codes for Chapter 72. The 18% figure is the published GST rate for these headings. Still, check any product-specific position against the live CBIC tariff before finalizing your indent.

SS sheet HSN code at a glance (7219 / 7220 + 18% GST)
Jindal Stainless flat products fall under Chapter 72, and the split comes down to width. Anything 600 mm or wider (your typical sheet, plate, or coil) sits under HSN 7219. Go below 600 mm and you're into strip or patta-patti territory, coded under 7220. GST on ss sheet works out to 18% across the board.
The 8-digit code within 7219 or 7220 gets fixed by two things: whether the rolling is hot or cold, and the thickness. Grade doesn't factor in. That's why a jindal ss sheet hsn code or jindal stainless hsn code question gets answered by the exact same lookup, HSN classification runs on grade and form, not on brand.
| Product form | Width | HSN heading | GST |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS sheet / plate / coil (standard sheet width) | ≥600 mm | 7219 | 18% |
| SS strip / patta-patti (narrow) | <600 mm | 7220 | 18% |
Master HSN list for stainless flat products
This is the stainless steel hsn code list covering every flat form. A ss plate hsn code / stainless steel plate hsn code falls under 7219 (thicker, ≥4.75 mm rows below). A ss coil hsn code / stainless steel coil hsn code is 7219 as well (hot- or cold-rolled coil). A ss strip hsn code, ss patta hsn code, ss patti hsn code or ss patta patti hsn code is 7220 (width <600 mm). A stainless steel chadar hsn code is simply the sheet code, chadar/chaddar is the Hindi-market word for sheet, so it maps to 7219 at the standard sheet width.
| Product form | Width band | HSN heading | Typical 8-digit | GST |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sheet / chadar (cold-rolled) | ≥600 mm | 7219 | 7219 34 00 / 35 00 | 18% |
| Plate (hot-rolled, ≥4.75 mm) | ≥600 mm | 7219 | 7219 11–24 00 | 18% |
| Coil (hot-rolled) | ≥600 mm | 7219 | 7219 11–14 00 | 18% |
| Coil (cold-rolled) | ≥600 mm | 7219 | 7219 31–35 00 | 18% |
| Strip / patta-patti | <600 mm | 7220 | 7220 11–90 00 | 18% |
8-digit HSN codes (7219 & 7220) explained
For a SS sheet HSN code 8 digit lookup, here's the full 8-digit breakdown by process and thickness. These come from the India Customs Tariff / ITC-HS First Schedule codes for Chapter 72.
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 7219 11 00 | Hot-rolled, in coils, thickness >10 mm |
| 7219 12 00 | Hot-rolled, in coils, 4.75–10 mm |
| 7219 13 00 | Hot-rolled, in coils, 3–<4.75 mm |
| 7219 14 00 | Hot-rolled, in coils, <3 mm |
| 7219 21 00 / 22 / 23 / 24 | Hot-rolled, not in coils, by thickness band |
| 7219 31 00 | Cold-rolled (cold-reduced), ≥4.75 mm |
| 7219 32 00 | Cold-rolled, 3–<4.75 mm |
| 7219 33 00 | Cold-rolled, >1–<3 mm |
| 7219 34 00 | Cold-rolled, 0.5–1 mm |
| 7219 35 00 | Cold-rolled, <0.5 mm |
| 7219 90 00 | Other (7219) |
| 7220 11 00 | Hot-rolled, width <600 mm, ≥4.75 mm |
| 7220 12 00 | Hot-rolled, width <600 mm, <4.75 mm |
| 7220 20 00 | Cold-rolled (cold-reduced), width <600 mm |
| 7220 90 00 | Other (7220) |
What 4-, 6- and 8-digit HSN mean
A ss sheet hsn code 4 digit value is the heading, either 7219 or 7220. Go to the 6 digit level and you narrow it to the international subheading (7219.34, for instance). The 8-digit value is the India-specific tariff line, something like 7219 34 00, and that's the figure you quote in full on a GST invoice. Most GST invoices call for the 8-digit code. Use the complete string from the table above.
What 7219 and 7220 mean: width ≥/<600 mm
On the question of what separates hsn code 7219 meaning from hsn code 7220 meaning: both fall under Chapter 72's flat-rolled stainless steel, and width alone splits them. 7219 covers flat-rolled stainless of ≥600 mm width, standard sheet, plate and coil. 7220 covers flat-rolled stainless below 600 mm, strip and patta-patti. That width rule, nothing more, is what separates 7219 from 7220.
HSN code by grade (304, 316, 202, 430, patta…)
204Cu HSN code and 316Ti HSN code both point to the same place as everything else here, and that's the whole point: HSN classification tracks the product form, not the grade. A ss 304 HSN code, ss 304 sheet HSN code, ss 316 HSN code and ss 202 sheet HSN code all resolve to 7219 for sheet, plate or coil, and to 7220 for strip. Grade only moves price and spec around.
The same rule covers the austenitic family: ss 304L HSN code, 316L HSN code, 316Ti HSN code, 321 HSN code and 310S HSN code. It covers the 200-series and J-series too, meaning ss 201 HSN code, 204Cu HSN code and J4 HSN code. Ferritic grades line up the same way, ss 409 HSN code, 410 HSN code, 430 HSN code, 439 HSN code, 441 HSN code and 436 HSN code all land under one classification. Duplex 2205 HSN code follows suit.
Put it together and a combined ss 304 HSN code and GST rate answer comes out to 7219, eight digits depending on thickness, taxed at 18%.
| Grade | Sheet / plate / coil ≥600 mm | Strip / patta <600 mm | GST |
|---|---|---|---|
| 304 / 304L | 7219 (8-digit by thickness) | 7220 | 18% |
| 316 / 316L / 316Ti | 7219 | 7220 | 18% |
| 321 / 310S | 7219 | 7220 | 18% |
| 201 / 202 / 204Cu / J4 | 7219 | 7220 | 18% |
| 409 / 410 / 430 / 439 / 441 / 436 | 7219 | 7220 | 18% |
| Duplex 2205 | 7219 | 7220 | 18% |
Classification here runs by form, width and thickness, not by grade, which is why the codes stay the same across grades. The grades named are Relinox's core-supply grades. Want the composition and properties for each one? Check the grade pages: SS 304 grade & spec, SS 316, and SS 202. Price per kg is a different story; it does shift with grade, so head to the relevant price page instead, such as SS 304 sheet price per kg, SS 316 sheet price, or SS 202 sheet price. HSN is fixed at this stage. The rate itself only gets confirmed on RFQ.
GST rate on stainless steel (18%)
The stainless steel GST rate sits at 18%. That splits into 9% CGST and 9% SGST on an intra-state sale, or shows up as a flat 18% IGST when the sale crosses state lines. People search for this the same information under different names, ss gst percentage, gst on stainless steel sheet, gst rate on ss patta, ss coil gst rate, but the answer doesn't change. Flat-rolled stainless falling under 7219/7220 gets taxed at 18% regardless of which term you used to find it.
Before you finalise a bill, check the live CBIC rate schedule. Make sure no concessional notification applies specifically to your product.
Same rate for dealer, stockist or trader
The 18% GST rate and the HSN code don't shift based on who's doing the selling. An ss sheet dealer hsn code and a stockist hsn code match any other seller's exactly, and an ss sheet supplier gst rate or trader gst rate sits at 18% no matter the seller type. The same goes for an ss patta dealer or trader hsn code (Hinglish: patta dealer ka HSN wahi hai). The code is 7220, whoever bills it.
GST invoice & input credit
Jindal's registered sellers issue GST invoices showing the 8-digit HSN and the 18% GST rate, and registered buyers claim input tax credit against them. That's the core of any jindal ss dealer gst invoice hsn enquiry: the right HSN string paired with a compliant tax invoice. Looking for a full ss sheet price list with hsn and gst? The pricing side lives on the prices hub (check today's indicative rate on RFQ). HSN and GST details are covered here.

Frequently asked questions
What is the HSN code for stainless steel sheet?
Stainless-steel sheet falls under HSN 7219 when the width is 600 mm or more, or HSN 7220 when it's narrower than that. The 8-digit code itself depends on the rolling process and thickness. GST applies at 18%.
What is the HSN code for SS 304 sheet?
Same as any stainless sheet: 7219 (for example, 7219 34 00 for cold-rolled 0.5-1 mm). Grade doesn't change the HSN, so 304 sheet carries the same code as 316 or 202 sheet in the same form.
Is the HSN code different for 304, 316 and 202?
No. Classification runs on form, width and thickness, not on alloy grade. 304, 316 and 202 all fall under 7219 for sheet, plate and coil, and under 7220 for strip and patta.
What is the GST rate on stainless steel sheet?
GST at 18%, either 9% CGST plus 9% SGST for a sale within a state, or 18% IGST for a sale across states, applies to flat-rolled stainless steel classified under headings 7219 and 7220.
What is the HSN code for SS patta / patti (strip)?
SS patta/patti is flat-rolled stainless steel with a width under 600 mm, which puts it under heading 7220 (8-digit codes 7220 11–90 00, depending on process). GST comes to 18%.
What is the 8-digit HSN code for SS sheet?
It depends on the process and the thickness. For cold-rolled sheet, the 8-digit codes run 7219 31–35 00 by thickness band (7219 34 00 covers 0.5–1 mm, for instance). Check the 8-digit table above for the full list.
Is the GST rate different for a dealer, stockist or trader?
No. The 18% rate and the HSN code apply no matter who's selling. A registered seller issues a GST invoice showing the HSN and 18% GST, and a registered buyer claims input credit.
What is the HSN code for stainless steel pipe or tube?
Relinox supplies flat products only, so a ss pipe or tube hsn code isn't covered on this page. Stainless pipes and tubes belong under heading 7306, not 7219/7220, that's outside our scope here.
What is the HSN code for stainless steel scrap?
Steel scrap falls under heading 7204, separate from flat products and outside Relinox's supply. Use 7204 for a stainless steel scrap classification, not 7219/7220.
Ss sheet ka HSN code kya hai?
SS sheets are classified under 7219 or 7220. If the width is 600 mm or more, it's 7219; anything under 600 mm falls into 7220. GST on these comes to 18%.
Will Relinox give a proper GST invoice with the HSN code?
Jindal Stainless mill test certificate goes out with every dispatch, and each one is billed under the correct 8-digit HSN with 18% GST applied. Submit your requirement through the RFQ form and we'll get you a rate and invoice.
