HSN Code for Gold Jewellery – Complete Guide for 2025

Gold jewellery has always been one of India’s most valuable, purchased, and culturally significant commodities. Whether it’s for investment, gifting, or retail trade, gold jewellery is sold in every part of the country. Under GST, correct HSN Code usage is compulsory for every retailer, wholesaler, manufacturer, exporter, and online seller.

If you deal in any type of gold jewellery—plain, studded, handcrafted, imported, or machine-made—this guide gives you everything you need about the HSN Code for gold jewellery, along with classification details, GST rates, usage rules, and compliance requirements.

What is the HSN Code for Gold Jewellery?

The official HSN Code for Gold Jewellery is 7113.

This HSN code covers all jewellery made of gold, whether plain or studded. It includes modern, traditional, antique, and machine-crafted jewellery.

This makes HSN 7113 applicable to:

• Gold rings

• Gold chains

• Earrings and studs

• Gold bangles

• Necklaces and mangalsutras

• Bracelets and lockets

• Antique and temple jewellery

• Handmade and machine-made jewellery

• Kundan, Polki, and CZ jewellery

Under GST, using this HSN code is mandatory for any business issuing tax invoices.

Detailed Classification Under HSN Code 7113 (Explained Without Table)

Sometimes gold jewellery is further categorized for clarity. Below are the major segments under HSN 7113:

1. Plain Gold Jewellery (HSN 7113 – Unstudded Gold Jewellery)

This includes jewellery made purely of gold without any stones or diamonds.
Examples include plain chains, kadas, bangles, gold mangalsutras without stones, and simple rings.

2. Studded Gold Jewellery (HSN 7113 – Stone or Diamond Studded)

This category covers gold jewellery embedded with precious or semi-precious stones.
Examples include Polki sets, diamond rings, Kundan necklaces, and stone-studded earrings.

3. Gold Chains (Specific Sub-category)

Gold chains, whether machine-made or handmade, fall under a special listing within 7113.
This is used mostly by wholesalers and chain manufacturers.

4. Other Gold Jewellery Articles

Covers all types of jewellery not falling in the above categories.

This classification helps businesses generate accurate invoices and maintain GST compliance with precision.

GST Rates Applicable on Gold Jewellery in India

Gold jewellery attracts two different GST components:

1. GST on Gold Value – 3%

The actual value of gold (weight × price) is taxed at 3% GST.

2. GST on Making Charges – 5%

When making charges are shown separately in the invoice, they are taxed at 5% GST.

Example:
A gold ring billed with separate gold value and making charges will have two distinct GST elements.

This is why correct HSN usage is essential—it ensures your GST structure matches official requirements.

Why Correct HSN Code is Critical for Gold Jewellery Businesses?

Using the correct HSN code for gold jewellery is not just a compliance requirement—it determines how accurate your billing, taxation, and legal reporting will be.

1. Avoid GST Notices and Penalties

Incorrect HSN codes commonly trigger GST notices, especially during return filing or department audits.

2. Smooth Billing and Accounting

Jewellers using POS systems, ERP, or billing software need correct HSN codes to avoid mismatched entries.

3. Accurate Export and Import Documentation

If you trade internationally, HSN classification determines your customs duties and export declarations.

4. Helps Maintain Strong GST Records

Correct product classification ensures businesses avoid mismatches in GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, and e-invoicing.

5. Needed for Online Marketplace Compliance

Amazon, Flipkart, Shopify, and other platforms require correct HSN codes for gold jewellery listing.

Simply put, without the correct HSN code, businesses may face compliance gaps and tax-related complications.

Where Must You Use the Gold Jewellery HSN Code?

The 7113 HSN code must be used in every legal and commercial document, including:

• GST tax invoices

• Bills of supply

• Retail and wholesale bills

• E-way bills

• Import/export documents

• Online marketplace listings

• Business accounting entries

• E-invoices and e-way bill portals

GST authorities can reject invoices if HSN codes are missing or incorrect.

How to Identify Correct HSN Code for Specific Gold Jewellery?

Here’s a simple rule you can follow:

• If the jewellery is plain, it comes under unstudded gold.

• If the jewellery has any stone, it becomes studded gold under 7113.

• If the product is only gold chain, it comes under the chain classification inside 7113.

• If the product is not fitting anywhere, it still stays within 7113 (other gold jewellery).

This makes HSN 7113 versatile and easy to apply across all jewellery categories.
