What is a harmonized system of nomenclature (HSN) classification?
HSN(harmonized system of nomenclature) have twenty-one sections, ninety-nine chapters, 1,244 headings, & 5,224 subheadings. Sections & chapters are arranged in order of a product’s degree of manufacture/ in terms of its technological complexity.
Natural products like animals & vegetables appear in earlier sections; man-made/technologically advanced products like machinery appear later.
Chapters have a similar structure. Take cotton, for example – Chapter 52. Cotton that has not been carded or combed appears earlier in the chapter; cotton as a woven fabric appears later.
- Each Section is a collection of various chapters. Sections represent a broader class of goods, and chapters represent a particular class of goods.
- Each chapter is further divided into various headings depending upon different types of goods belonging to the same class.
- Each heading contains products, which are ultimately assigned an HSN code.
- For better identification of goods, India and a few other countries use eight-digit codes for deeper classification.
- few HSN codes also use dashes. A single dash (-) at the beginning of a description denotes an article that belongs to a group covered under a heading.
- A double dash (–) indicates that the article is a sub-classification of the preceding article that has a single dash. Similarly, a triple dash (—) or a quadruple dash (—-) indicates the article is a sub-classification of the preceding article that has a double dash or triple dash.
