HSN 2303: Residues of starch manufacture

HSN code 2303 covers: Residues of starch manufacture, similar residues; beet-pulp, bagasse and other waste of sugar manufacture, brewing or distilling dregs and waste, whether or not in the form of pellets.

This code is not separately listed in the rate schedule, so the standard 18% GST applies unless the item is specifically exempt (nil-rated). Confirm against the CBIC rate finder or your CA before billing.

Rates reflect the 22 Sep 2025 GST 2.0 reform (mainly 5% and 18%, with 3% for precious metals and 28%/40% for select sin and luxury goods). This is a reference drawn from the CBIC rate schedule, not tax advice — confirm the exact rate for your specific item with your CA.
