HS Code India

It is also called as HSN Code in India. Goods are grouped into the Harmonized System of Nomenclature. ITC (HS) codes are well-known as Indian Trade Clarification (ITC) and are based on the Harmonized System (HS) of Coding. India is a member of the World Customs Organization (WCO) since 1971. These codes came into effect in the year 1988 by WCO. India was originally using 6-digit codes to categorize commodities for Customs (Import Export Operations) & Central Excise. After that Customs and Central Excise added 2 more digits to make the codes more precise, resulting in an 8 digit classification. Nowadays Indian custom uses 8 ITC (HS) code to suit the national trade needs. Seair Exim provides the complete list of HS Codes for each product and goods.

Understanding the HSN Code India For example: HS code for Handkerchiefs made of Textile matters is 62.13.90 First two digits (62) from the left side represent the chapter number for Articles of apparel & clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted. Next two digits (13) from the left side represent the heading number for handkerchiefs.

Next two digits (13) from the left side represent the heading number for handkerchiefs. Finally, the last two digits/last two digits (90) is the product (goods) code for handkerchiefs made of other textile materials. India has 2 more digits for a deeper (accurate) classification of the products/goods. If the handkerchiefs are made from a man-made fibre, then the code for handkerchiefs is 62.13.90.10. If the handkerchiefs are made from silk or waste from silk, then the code for handkerchiefs is 62.13.90.90.
