What is an HSN Code?

An HSN code (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) is an internationally standardised numeric system to classify traded products. Indian customs extend it to an 8-digit ITC-HS code for more precise classification, taxation and compliance.

  • First 2 digits: Chapter (e.g. 48)
  • Digits 3–4: Heading
  • Digits 5–6: Subheading (WCO-aligned)
  • Last 2 digits: Indian ITC extension for added granularity
