Frequently asked questions
Is the HS code data live?
Not yet. No classification data source, such as an official customs tariff or a licensed HS dataset, is connected to this page. Until one is, searches show a “not connected” message and no codes, and no sample codes are shown in their place.
What can I search for?
A product name or short description of up to 120 characters, such as “cotton t-shirt”, or an HS code of 2 to 10 digits, such as 61 (a chapter), 6109 (a heading) or 6109.10 (a subheading). Codes can be typed with or without dots or spaces.
What do the digits of an HS code mean?
The first 2 digits are the chapter, the first 4 the heading and the first 6 the subheading; these are shared internationally. Longer codes are national: India uses 8-digit codes, and some countries use 10.
Is a result a binding classification?
No. Results help you research a classification. Only the customs authority’s decision is binding, so confirm the code with the customs authority or a licensed customs broker before you file.
Where can I check an Indian HS code officially?
In the customs tariff published by CBIC (Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs) and the ITC(HS) schedules published by DGFT, or with a licensed customs broker.
Will it show duty rates?
Only if the connected source publishes them, and only for that source’s country. If the source has no rate, the lookup says so and does not estimate one. To estimate duty with rates you enter yourself, use the Import Duty Calculator.
Is my search sent anywhere?
Not at the moment: with no data source connected, nothing you type leaves your browser. When a source is connected, your search text and any optional details you add will be sent to it.
Why do I see “That looks like a code but is not in a recognised format”?
Codes may contain only digits, in groups of at least 2 digits separated by single dots or spaces, such as 6109.10 or 6109 10 00. Dashes, slashes and single digits are not accepted.
Why are there no results?
Because no data source is connected yet, no search can return results.
