HS Codes & Indian Export Policies
What is an HS Code?
The Harmonized System (HS) is a standardized numerical method of classifying traded products. It is used by customs authorities around the world to identify products when assessing duties and taxes and for gathering statistics. In India, an 8-digit ITC-HS (Indian Trade Clarification based on Harmonized System) code is used.
Why is the correct HS code important for exports?
Using the correct HS code is legally required for customs declarations. It determines the export policy (whether a product is free to export, restricted, or prohibited), applicable export duties, GST rates, and eligibility for export incentives (like RoDTEP or Duty Drawback) in India.
How do I find my product's HS code?
You can search our HS Code Lookup tool using keywords related to your product (e.g., 'cotton shirt' or 'pharmaceutical'). The tool will return matching 8-digit ITC-HS codes along with the official description, export policy, and applicable GST rate.
What does 'Export Policy: Free' mean?
'Free' export policy means the product can be exported from India without needing any special authorizations, licenses, or NOCs (No Objection Certificates) from the DGFT, provided standard customs procedures are followed.
