GST Rate and HSN Code for Art Work and Antiques

In this article, we look at the GST rate and HSN code for Art Work, antiques and collector’s pieces. The GST Rate and HSN Code for Art Work and Antiques fall under Chapter 97 of the HSN Code. Chapter 97 of the HSN code does not cover:

  • Pearls, natural or cultured, or precious or semi-precious stones (headings 7101 to 7103).

For the purposes of heading 9702, the expression “original engravings, prints and lithographs” means impressions produced directly, in black and white, or colour, of one or of several plates wholly executed by hand by the artist, irrespective of the processor of the material employed by him, but not including any mechanical or photomechanical process.

Heading 9703 does not apply to mass-produced reproductions or works of conventional craftsmanship of a commercial character, even if these articles are designed or created by artists.
