For an assessable value of ₹100:

  1. BCD = AV × 10% = ₹10.00
  2. AIDC = BCD × 10% = ₹1.00
  3. SWS = (BCD + AIDC) × 10% = ₹1.10(exemption notifications exist for this code; verify eligibility)
  4. IGST = (AV + BCD + AIDC + SWS) × 18% = ₹20.18
  5. Total Duty = BCD + AIDC + SWS + IGST = ₹32.28 (32.28%)

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. 76)
  • Digits 3–4: Heading
  • Digits 5–6: Subheading (WCO-aligned)
  • Last 2 digits: Indian ITC extension for added granularity

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.
