Rates verified 7 September 2026. HSN classification is stable, but GST rates change by notification — the 22 September 2025 rationalisation removed the 12% and 28% slabs, and any reference still quoting 12% on these goods is out of date. Confirm the current rate against the CBIC rate finder before invoicing, and treat this page as general information rather than tax advice. Classification of a specific product is your CA's call, not ours.
The rates that apply, side by side
Drinkware is not taxed as one category — the material decides the rate, which is why two similar-looking items in the same hamper can carry different GST.
| Product | HSN | GST |
|---|---|---|
| Insulated stainless steel bottles and flasks | 9617 | 18% |
| Glass bottles and glassware | 7010 | 18% |
| Plastic / PET bottles | 3923 | 18% |
| Copper and brass vessels | 7418 | 18% |
General information from a supplier, not tax advice. Classification depends on the specific article and its construction — confirm with your own finance team or CA, whose reading of your circumstances is the one that counts.
What buyers get wrong
- Assuming input tax credit is recoverable on gifts. It generally is not, for goods disposed of by way of gift. Corporate buyers should budget GST-inclusive.
- Classifying by appearance. A steel-look bottle with a plastic body is not 7323.
- Ignoring the invoice. Confirm the supplier can issue a GST invoice against your GSTIN before ordering, not after delivery.

| Trail running, ultralight | Tritan plastic | Lightest and effectively unbreakable |

The grade question, specifically
For steel, 304 (also written 18/8, SUS 304 or AISI 304) is the food-grade standard — 18-20% chromium and 8-10.5% nickel, chemically inert at drinking temperatures.
The substitute to watch for is grade 201: 3.5-5.5% nickel against 8-10.5%, noticeably weaker in constant water contact, and it pits over time producing a metallic taste and corrosion sites that cannot be cleaned. Listings selling 201 typically just say "stainless steel" and stop there. That silence is the signal — a manufacturer using 304 has every reason to say so.
316 stainless appears occasionally at a premium. It adds molybdenum for salt-water corrosion resistance, which a water bottle never encounters. It is not worth paying extra for.
