HSN code for agarbatti in 8 digits: 3307 41 00
The 8-digit HSN code for agarbatti is 33074100. DGCIS chapter 33 places it, with 3307 49 00, under "preparations for perfuming or deodorizing rooms, including odoriferous preparations used during religious rites", so puja incense and room fragrance share a group but not a line.
| HSN | Description | GST |
|---|---|---|
| 3307 41 00 | "Agarbatti" and other odoriferous preparations which operate by burning | 5% for the five names in S.No. 250, 18% for the rest |
| 3307 49 00 | Other (room perfuming and deodorising preparations) | 18% (Sch. II S.No. 64) |

Search the portal for 330741, not 3307. The portal’s 4-digit 3307 row carries the oral-care text of 3306 ("preparations for oral or dental hygiene"), a labelling slip; the 6- and 8-digit agarbatti rows below it are correct.
On a tax invoice, 4 digits (3307) are enough when last year’s aggregate turnover was up to ₹5 crore, and 6 digits (330741) above it. GSTR-1 Table 12 uses the same minimums, and the code is picked from the portal drop-down (GSTN GSTR-1 FAQ, checked 30 Oct 2026).
Agarbatti GST rate: 5% or 18%?
GST on agarbatti and dhoop is 5% from 22 September 2025, under Schedule I S.No. 250 of Notification 9/2025-IT(Rate), which names "agarbatti, lobhan, dhoop batti, dhoop, sambraani" against 3307 41 00. Those five names are the 5% list in S.No. 250.
Incense that burns but is not one of those five names is 18%, under Schedule II S.No. 65: "odoriferous preparations which operate by burning [other than agarbattis, lobhan, dhoop batti, dhoop, sambhrani]". Room freshener sprays, gels and other prepared room deodorisers sit on 3307 49 00 and are 18% under S.No. 64.
Hawan samagri has its own entry: Schedule I S.No. 515 puts "rosaries, prayer beads or hawan samagri" at 5% under any chapter, so the rate holds whatever heading the mix falls in.
Some pages print agarbatti sticks under 3302 90 90 at 18%, under heading 1401, or split dhoop into "branded 12%, unbranded 5%". None of those matches the notification: it has no brand split for S.No. 250, and the agarbatti line is 3307 41 00.

Worked example: masala agarbatti, dhoop cones and a candle
A puja-store seller lists a pack of masala agarbatti, a box of dhoop cones and a scented candle. The invoice carries 3307 41 00 at 5% twice and 3406 00 10 at 5% once, each on its own line. The rates match; the candle still keeps its own heading.
