HSN code 8468 covers: Machinery and apparatus for soldering, brazing, welding, whether or not capable of cutting, other than those of heading no. 8515; gas-operated surface tempering machines and appliances.

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:

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.
