Six digits are global. The last two are yours.
The first six digits come from the WCO's Harmonized System and are identical in every member country. India's ITC-HS adds two more for customs duty and GST, so your buyer's country may use a different 8- or 10-digit line for the same product.
Search, compare, then verify.
A keyword match is a starting point, not a classification. Use the checker to narrow the field, then confirm the final code against the official tariff.
Search by product or code
Describe the product in plain words, such as “vitrified floor tiles”, or enter 2 to 8 digits to jump to a chapter, heading, subheading or tariff item.
Compare the matches
Results are ranked by how closely the description fits. Open each one to see its section, chapter and heading.
Check material, function and use
Classification turns on what the product is made of, what it does and how it is used, plus the section and chapter notes. Similar-looking goods can sit in different headings.
Verify before you file
Confirm the 8-digit code against the CBIC customs tariff or the DGFT ITC-HS schedules, or with your customs broker, before it goes on a declaration.
One code, several decisions downstream.
The HSN code on your invoice or shipping bill tells customs what the goods are. A lot follows from that one line.
Customs documentation
Shipping bills, bills of entry and commercial invoices need consistent codes. A mismatch can trigger queries, holds or amendments.
Tariff treatment
Duty rates, trade-agreement preferences and trade remedies are set by tariff line, so the code decides which rate applies.
Import and export policy
India’s ITC-HS schedules mark each line as free, restricted or prohibited. Some lines need a licence or authorisation.
Tax treatment
In India, GST rates are mapped to HSN codes, and GST invoices must show the code at the length your turnover requires.
Product-specific requirements
Certain lines carry extra rules, such as standards certification, food safety clearance or plant quarantine checks.
What this checker does not do
It shows codes and descriptions only. It does not show duty or GST rates, and it does not confirm a classification for you.
Built for the people who fill in the code box.
Importers

Exporters
Find the 8-digit ITC-HS line for the shipping bill and see how the 6-digit code will read in the buyer’s country.
Customs brokers and CHAs
Look up a heading quickly when a client sends a vague product description, then confirm against the tariff.
Manufacturers
Classify a new product line once and use the same code across invoices, shipping bills and GST returns.
