India has been using HSN codes since 1986 to separate Customs and Central Excise goods. Currently, HSN codes apply to Customs and GST. Codes derived from Customs tariffs are also used for GST purposes.
The current HSN code contains 21 sections. These are divided into 99 chapters divided into 1244 sections. This program helps to make GST easier and more universally accepted. HSN codes for six-digit goods are common worldwide. Standard HSN codes apply to Customs and GST. Codes deducted from Customs tariffs are used for GST purposes. For tax purposes, the HS code is determined by subject (4 HS digits), sub-title (6 HS digits) and tax items (8 digits).
