What is an HS Code?

An HS code (Harmonized System code) is an internationally standardized system of numbers to classify traded products. Indian customs use an 8-digit extension called ITC-HS for more precise classification, taxation, and compliance.

  • First 6 digits: Universal under the World Customs Organization (WCO)
  • Last 2 digits: Indian ITC extension for extra granularity
