💡 BusinessZindagi Tip
What is HS Code?
The Harmonized System (HS) code is an internationally standardised product classification used for customs tariffs, trade statistics and DGFT policy. India uses the Customs Tariff aligned to HS.
Why HS Codes Matter
Wrong classification can mean incorrect duty, delayed clearance, penalties or denied export benefits. Always confirm with the tariff and a licensed Customs Broker (CHA).
How to Find the Correct HS Code
- Describe the product precisely (material, use, form).
- Locate Chapter → Heading → Subheading in the Customs Tariff.
- Check Section/Chapter notes and GIR rules.
- Verify import/export policy on DGFT and GST rate notifications.
Import vs Export Classification
The same HS structure is used for import and export, but policy (Free / Restricted / Prohibited / STE) and documentation can differ by direction and product.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an official HS code database?
No. It is an educational assistant with indicative matches. Final classification rests with Customs Tariff, DGFT and CBIC guidance.
What is a likely HS code?
A code that often applies to similar products based on description keywords — not a legal determination.
Can GST rate differ from tariff?
GST is notified separately; always cross-check GST rate schedules for your HSN.
Who should confirm classification?
A qualified Customs Broker (CHA) or your compliance team using the official tariff and notifications.
Why do tea grades have different codes?
Form and processing (e.g. black tea, green tea, extracts) can fall under different headings.
