INDIA HS CODE LOOKUP

India HS code lookup

Zavitec helps you identify the right Indian HS / CTH code for a product. Search by a plain-language description or a code, and Zavitec suggests official candidate classifications with the context you need to choose confidently.

What is an HS code, and why classification matters

An HS (Harmonised System) code — extended in India to an 8-digit CTH (Customs Tariff Heading) — is the classification that determines the duty rate, import and export policy, notifications and agency requirements that apply to a product. Getting it right is the foundation of every downstream customs decision, which is why Zavitec starts here.

How Zavitec's HS code lookup works

You enter a product description or an HS/CTH code. Zavitec searches official Indian tariff references and suggests candidate HS codes, so you can compare options rather than guessing a single answer.

  • Input: a product description (e.g. “stainless steel kitchen sink”) or a partial/full HS code
  • Output: ranked official candidate HS/CTH codes with descriptions and supporting detail
  • Next step: continue to import policy, duty calculation and customs requirements for the chosen code

Who it is for

Importers and exporters confirming a classification, customs brokers validating a client’s declaration, and logistics or compliance teams that need a defensible starting point for a customs entry.

Limitations and human review

HS candidates are suggestions to support classification, not a final legal determination. For ambiguous products, high-duty items or disputes, confirm the classification with a qualified customs professional. You can open the Zavitec Indian customs product to run a lookup.
