HSN codes and GST rates of the following products are as follows:

7612 18% Aluminium casks, drums, cans, boxes and similar containers (including rigid or collapsible tubular containers), for any material (other than compressed or liquefied gas), of a capacity not exceeding 300 l, whether or not lined or heat insulated, but not fitted with mechanical or thermal equipment

2. Plastic empty tubes like used for toothpaste , shampoos etc

3. Bathing Soap

These classification are given for the products. If you are dealing with used empty tubes then it will be classified under chapter heading of scrap of relevant material.

Note There is no separate chapter heading for packing material of aluminium except 7611 or 7613 so we find 7612 as most suitable heading for tube (Reply dt. 06/06/2018)
