Why might this GST rate differ?

This is the base GST / IGST rate for the heading. The actual rate can vary with the product’s composition, form, packaging or end use — some sub-items attract a different rate under the schedules and exemptions of Notification 09/2025-Integrated Tax (Rate). Always verify the exact item before filing.

How it's calculated

For an assessable value of ₹100:

  1. BCD = AV × 7.5% = ₹7.50
  2. AIDC = BCD × 7.5% = ₹0.56
  3. SWS = (BCD + AIDC) × 10% = ₹0.81(exemption notifications exist for this code; verify eligibility)
  4. IGST = (AV + BCD + AIDC + SWS) × 18% = ₹19.60
  5. Total Duty = BCD + AIDC + SWS + IGST = ₹28.47 (28.47%)

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. 84)
  • 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

Export Documentation

Use this code in your Commercial Invoice, Packing List, and Shipping Bill for exports from India.

Import Clearance

Required for the Bill of Entry and customs clearance when importing goods into India.

GST Classification

Drives the applicable GST rate, HSN-wise summary in GSTR-1 and ITC eligibility checks.

Common HSN code mistakes to avoid

  • • Reusing outdated or incorrect codes from old shipments
  • • Mixing up similar product codes without checking descriptions
  • • Ignoring the last 2 digits which affect Indian duty rates
  • • Not considering composition, end use or manufacturing process
  • • Relying solely on online tools without professional verification

Need more information?

For complex products, consult with customs brokers or trade experts who can classify based on:

  • • Physical product inspection
  • • Material composition / manufacturing process
  • • Intended end-use
  • • Latest customs notifications & advance rulings
Pro tip: Correct HSN code usage saves time, money and grief at customs.
