The HSN code for washing machines falls under Heading 8450 in India.
The exact HSN code depends mainly on the machine type and dry linen capacity. For example, fully automatic washing machines with a dry linen capacity not exceeding 10 kg fall under 84501100.
Washing machines under HSN 8450 generally attract 18% GST.
What Is the HSN Code for Washing Machines?
The broad HSN heading is:
8450 — Household or laundry-type washing machines, including machines which both wash and dry
The main classifications are:
-
84501100 – Fully automatic washing machines with dry linen capacity not exceeding 10 kg
-
84501200 – Other washing machines with built-in centrifugal drier, capacity not exceeding 10 kg
-
84501900 – Other washing machines with capacity not exceeding 10 kg
-
84502000 – Washing machines with dry linen capacity exceeding 10 kg
-
84509010 – Parts of household-type washing machines
-
84509090 – Other parts
Quick Summary
| Product Type | HSN Code | GST Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Fully automatic washing machine, ≤10 kg | 84501100 | 18% |
| Machine with built-in centrifugal drier, ≤10 kg | 84501200 | 18% |
| Other washing machine, ≤10 kg | 84501900 | 18% |
| Washing machine, >10 kg | 84502000 | 18% |
| Household washing-machine parts | 84509010 / 84509090 | 18% |
HSN Code for Fully Automatic Washing Machines
Fully automatic household washing machines with a dry linen capacity not exceeding 10 kg fall under:
84501100
This is the most relevant classification for many standard household fully automatic machines.
HSN Code for Semi-Automatic Washing Machines
Semi-automatic washing machines can fall under different tariff items depending on their configuration.
A machine with a built-in centrifugal drier and dry linen capacity not exceeding 10 kg falls under:
84501200
Other washing machines not exceeding 10 kg that do not fall under the fully automatic or built-in-drier category can fall under:
84501900
The exact classification should therefore be based on the machine’s actual design rather than the marketing term “semi-automatic” alone.
HSN Code for Washing Machines Above 10 kg
Washing machines with a dry linen capacity exceeding 10 kg fall under:
84502000
This category can include larger-capacity laundry machines that exceed the 10 kg threshold specified in the tariff.
GST Rate on Washing Machines
Washing machines under HSN 8450 generally attract 18% GST.
For an applicable intra-state supply:
-
9% CGST
-
9% SGST
For an applicable inter-state supply:

What Is Covered Under HSN 8450?
HSN 8450 covers household or laundry-type washing machines, including machines that:
-
Wash clothes
-
Both wash and dry
-
Include built-in centrifugal driers
-
Have capacities above or below 10 kg
-
Are supplied as household or laundry-type washing equipment
Parts of these machines are classified separately under 845090.
Difference Between HSN 84501100 and 84501200
The difference is mainly in the machine design.
84501100 applies to fully automatic washing machines with dry linen capacity not exceeding 10 kg.
84501200 applies to other machines with a built-in centrifugal drier and capacity not exceeding 10 kg.
So the classification depends on how the washing and drying functions are configured.
Washing Machine Parts HSN Code
Parts of washing machines under Heading 8450 fall under:
-
84509010 – Parts of household-type machines
-
84509090 – Other parts
A spare part should not automatically use the same HSN as the complete washing machine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a washer-dryer combo fall under HSN 8450?
Yes. Heading 8450 specifically includes machines that both wash and dry, provided they meet the relevant household or laundry-type classification.
Is a semi-automatic washing machine always HSN 84501200?
Not always. 84501200 applies where the machine has a built-in centrifugal drier and meets the capacity condition. Other semi-automatic machines may fall under 84501900 depending on design.
Does machine capacity affect the HSN code?
Yes. Washing machines not exceeding 10 kg are classified separately from machines with a dry linen capacity exceeding 10 kg.
Are washing-machine spare parts classified under HSN 8450?
They fall within the washing-machine heading family, but use the specific parts subheading 845090, rather than the same code as a complete machine.
