What is HSN code? List of HS codes or HSN codes for cloth manufacturing

The Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code is an internationally standardized system for classifying products in the import-export trade. It was developed and is maintained by the World Customs Organization (WCO). The HSN code is used to classify goods for taxation and regulatory purposes, making international trade more efficient and standardized.

The HSN code is a numerical code assigned to each product, and it typically consists of six to eight digits. The code is organized in a hierarchical structure, with the first two digits representing the chapter, the next two digits indicating the heading, and the subsequent digits providing more detailed product classification. The HSN code ensures that products are classified uniformly across borders, facilitating the smooth movement of goods and helping customs authorities in different countries apply consistent tariff rates.
