Ladies dress HSN code 8 digit list, woven and knitted
Woven dresses fill 6204 41 to 6204 49 and knitted dresses 6104 41 to 6104 49; the fifth and sixth digits give the fibre (41 wool, 42 cotton, 43 synthetic, 44 artificial, 49 other). Inside each woven fibre the master then splits house coats, Lucknow chikan work and "other".
Polyester counts as a synthetic fibre and viscose rayon as an artificial one under chapter 54 Note 1 (chapter 54), which is why a rayon A-line takes 6204 44 90. The master still lists the undivided 6204 44 00 line beside its two splits.

8-digit lines: GST portal HSN master (search), read 11 Oct 2026. GST: Notification 9/2025, from 22 Sep 2025.
"Dress" or "dress material": two different codes
A stitched dress and dress material are classified apart: the dress goes in chapter 61 or 62, the material goes by fabric. On Google’s first page for "dress hsn code" (4 Oct 2026), Credlix and Drip Capital rank with 6307, a heading for made-up articles.
We checked chapter 63 of the DGCIS list: 6307 90 11 to 6307 90 13 read "dress materials hand printed", in cotton, silk or man-made fibre. That is cloth for stitching, not a finished dress; plain woven fabric sits in 5208–5212 (cotton) or 5407–5408 (filament yarn) (chapter 63).
EximPe prints a flat 18% for 6204, ignoring the ₹2,500 band. Seair ranks with 6204 42 20, which the 2017 DGCIS chapter read as "dresses"; the GST portal’s HSN master, read on 11 Oct 2026, lists 6204 42 20 as handloom, so a mill-made cotton dress takes 6204 42 90.
Ladies dress HSN code and GST rate to enter on Meesho
In the Meesho Supplier Panel or Flipkart Seller Hub, put 6204 (woven) or 6104 (knitted) in the HSN box and 5% or 18% in the GST box, by what one dress sells for.
- Find the row in the first table that matches the fabric and the way it is made.
- Enter 4 digits (6204) if last year’s aggregate turnover was up to ₹5 crore, or 6 digits (620444) above that, under CBIC Notification 78/2020–Central Tax from 1 April 2021.
- Pick the rate by sale value per piece: 5% up to ₹2,500 and 18% above. CBIC reads "sale value" as the transaction value, not MRP (CBIC FAQ Q33).
- Repeat that code and rate on the tax invoice and in GSTR-1 Table 12 (GSTN advisory).
Example: a supplier lists a printed rayon A-line dress at ₹499 and a cotton maxi at ₹579. Both are woven and under ₹2,500, so both go in as 6204 at 5%. The only difference shows at six digits, for a seller above ₹5 crore turnover, where the rayon dress becomes 620444 and the cotton maxi 620442.
Checked against our HSN finder
Typing "dress" into the StitchMagic HSN code finder returns the row "Anarkali, gown, dress" under 6204, women’s dresses, with the ₹2,500-a-piece band sourced to PIB.
Check your payout in the Meesho commission calculator and lot pricing in the price per piece guide. Typing the same HSN and GST into every form gets old fast. If you have a full catalog of dresses to list, ListMagic, a Chrome extension, fills the Supplier Panel catalog form from your details, and you press Submit yourself.
Night dress, kids frock, gown and men’s wear codes
A night dress is nightwear, not a dress, for HSN: 6108 if knitted and 6208 if woven. For cotton the 8-digit lines are 6108 31 00 (knitted) and 6208 21 90 (woven, or 6208 21 10 if handloom); man-made fibre night dresses take 6108 32 10 or 20, or 6208 22 00.
A frock for a baby of body height up to 86 cm is a babies’ garment, 6111 if knitted or 6209 if woven. The chapter notes put such an article in 6111 or 6209 even when another heading also fits, so a woven cotton baby frock is 6209 20 90 (6209 20 10 if handloom), not 6204 42 90. Frocks for older girls stay in 6204 or 6104.
Our finder files gowns and Anarkalis with dresses under 6204; we found no CBIC ruling on it, so confirm with your CA. A gown sold with a bottom and dupatta is a set, covered on the suit HSN code page.
There is no dress heading for men: men’s shirts are 6205 if woven, and trousers and suits 6203. Those are on the shirt HSN code and pant HSN code pages; other women’s wear is below.
| Item | HSN heading | Page |
|---|---|---|
| Kurti, women’s top | 6206 / 6106 | Kurti HSN code |
| Salwar suit, kurta set | 6211 / 6204 | Suit HSN code |
| Dress material, unstitched | fabric heading | Fabric HSN code |
| Jeans | ch. 62 | Jeans HSN code |
| All readymade clothes | ch. 61 / 62 | Clothes HSN code |
