What are HSN Codes?

HSN codes, or Harmonized System of Nomenclature codes, are an internationally accepted and standardized system for classifying goods in trade. They were introduced by the World Customs Organization (WCO) to facilitate the systematic classification of goods across borders. In India, HSN codes are used for the systematic classification of goods for taxation purposes, particularly under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime.

Each HSN code consists of a series of numbers that represent different categories of goods. These codes range from two to eight digits, with each digit providing more detailed information about the product being classified. For instance, a two-digit HSN code might represent a broad category such as “textiles,” while an eight-digit code could represent a specific type of fabric.

The Structure of HSN Codes

HSN codes follow a hierarchical structure, with each code comprising a series of digits that convey specific information about the categorized goods. The codes range from 2 to 8 digits, offering varying levels of granularity in classification. Here’s a breakdown of the structure:

  • 2-Digit Level: The first two digits represent the chapter, providing a broad classification of goods into overarching categories.
  • 4-Digit Level: The first four digits denote the heading, offering a more detailed classification within each chapter.
  • 6-Digit Level: The first six digits signify the sub-heading, providing further granularity in the classification.
  • 8-Digit Level: The full eight digits represent the tariff item, offering the most detailed classification of goods.
