Using HSN codes from Chapter 49

  • Expand a heading to see every 6-digit subheading and 8-digit tariff item underneath. Unit of measure and standard duty are shown once per 4-digit heading.
  • The standard duty shown is the Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) rate from the Indian Customs Tariff.
  • For GST filings, the 4-digit heading is usually sufficient; for customs declarations, the full 8-digit tariff item is required.
