HS Code Lookup India: Find Customs Duty Rates for Any Product

What is an HS Code?

The Harmonized System (HS) Code is a standardized numerical method of classifying traded products. Used by customs authorities worldwide, India uses an 8-digit ITC-HS code system based on the international 6-digit HS framework.

HS Code Structure

• Chapter (2 digits) — e.g., 61 = Knitted garments
• Heading (4 digits) — e.g., 6109 = T-shirts, singlets
• Subheading (6 digits) — e.g., 610910 = Cotton T-shirts
• National tariff line (8 digits) — India-specific classification

How to Find the Right HS Code

1. Start with the product description and identify the Chapter (01-97).
2. Narrow down to the correct 4-digit Heading.
3. Check Section Notes and Chapter Notes for classification rules.
