Classification of rubber rings for GST hinges on two operative conditions: they must be made of hard rubber and be suitable for use solely or principally with sprinkler or drip irrigation systems; if both conditions are met, the rings may be classified with irrigation machinery under the concessional tariff heading and attract the lower rate. If either condition is absent-rings are other than hard rubber or are articles of general use not confined to sole/principal use with those systems-then they fall outside that heading and are classifiable as other articles of vulcanised rubber, attracting the standard rate for that heading.
