For an assessable value of ₹100:

  1. BCD = AV × 30% = ₹30.00
  2. AIDC = BCD × 30% = ₹9.00
  3. SWS = (BCD + AIDC) × 10% = ₹3.90(exemption notifications exist for this code; verify eligibility)
  4. IGST = (AV + BCD + AIDC + SWS) × 18% = ₹25.72
  5. Total Duty = BCD + AIDC + SWS + IGST = ₹68.62 (68.62%)

Notifications and exemptions can lower the effective rate for specific goods or FTA partner countries. Cross-check against the latest CBIC circulars before filing.

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. 22)
  • Digits 3–4: Heading
  • Digits 5–6: Subheading (WCO-aligned)
  • Last 2 digits: Indian ITC extension for added granularity
Read the full explainer →

Why is the right HSN code important?

  • Ensures correct calculation of customs duties and taxes.
  • Required for shipping bills, bills of entry, GST filings and FTA certificates of origin.
  • Helps avoid clearance delays, penalties or reclassification disputes.
Tip: Always cross-check the 8-digit code against the latest DGFT / Customs schedule before filing.

How to use this HSN code
