Frequently asked questions

What is the GST rate for HSN code 3506?

The GST rate for HSN code 3506 (Prepared glues and other prepared adhesives, not elsewhere specified or included; products suitable for use as glues or adhesives, put up for retail sale as glues or adhesives, not exceeding a net weight of 1 kg) is 18% IGST (9% CGST + 9% SGST), as per Schedule II of Notification No. 9/2025-Integrated Tax (Rate).

Which chapter does HSN code 3506 belong to?

HSN code 3506 falls under Chapter 35 - Albuminoidal Substances; Modified Starches; Glues; Enzymes of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975.

Does HSN 3506 apply to any glue or adhesive I sell?

Only if it isn't classified elsewhere and, for a retail-pack product sold specifically as a glue or adhesive, the pack doesn't exceed 1 kg net weight. A bulk industrial adhesive over that weight, or one that has its own dedicated heading elsewhere in the tariff, doesn't fall under 3506.

Is a glue stick sold in a stationery combo pack still HSN 3506?

If the individual glue stick itself is put up for retail sale as a glue and stays within the 1 kg limit, yes — bundling it with other stationery in a combo doesn't change the classification of the glue item itself.
