HSN 8423: Weighing machines

HSN code 8423 covers: Weighing machines; excluding balances of a sensitivity of 5cg or better, including weight operated counting or checking machines and weights of all kinds.

The GST rate for this code depends on the specific item (per CBIC Notification 9/2025-Central Tax (Rate), effective 22 Sep 2025). The official schedule lists:

Pick the line that matches what you're 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.
