Butterfly Valve HSN Code & GST Rate in India (2025 Updated

Butterfly Valve HSN Code & GST Rate in India (2025 Updated)
In India, all goods and services fall under the HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code for GST compliance, taxation, and import/export classification. For butterfly valves, correct HSN code classification is crucial to avoid penalties, ensure smooth shipping, and apply the right GST percentage. This 2025 updated guide by Udhhyog explains the applicable HSN codes, GST rates, and how they differ by material and type (CI, SS, CS, motorised).
What is HSN Code for Butterfly Valves?
The HSN code is a globally accepted system (based on the World Customs Organization’s HS Code) used in India for classification under GST, customs, and trade. Butterfly valves fall under Chapter 84 – Machinery, mechanical appliances, and parts. The exact sub-heading depends on construction and use.
Butterfly Valve HSN Code List (2025)
Valve Type | HSN Code | Description | GST Rate (2025) |
---|---|---|---|
Cast Iron (CI) Butterfly Valve | 8481.80.30 | Butterfly type valves – cast iron body, general water/industrial use | 18% |
Stainless Steel (SS) Butterfly Valve | 8481.80.30 | Stainless steel butterfly valves – corrosion-resistant, chemical/food use | 18% |
Motorised / Actuated Butterfly Valve | 8481.80.90 | Other butterfly valves with electric/pneumatic/hydraulic actuators | 18% |

Note: GST rate of 18% applies uniformly across butterfly valve categories under HSN 8481. However, actuator + valve assemblies may sometimes fall under mixed headings depending on customs interpretation.
