Why this table is narrow on purpose
Searched broadly, “HSN code” covers every GST-registered trade in India — roughly 415,000 searches a month across petrol, steel, dairy, machinery and everything else with a tariff heading. A fashion seller needs almost none of that.
This tool holds one table, scoped to garments, footwear, bags, jewellery and fashion accessories — the categories that actually appear on a Meesho, Flipkart or Amazon.in seller invoice. If a product isn’t in it, it’s deliberately not in it, and the search will say so.
Garment HSN codes at a glance
The categories this table covers, and the heading each normally falls under:
- Sarees — classified by fibre (silk, cotton, synthetic), not as a garment, since a saree is unstitched fabric
- Kurtis, tops, blouses — chapter 61 if knitted, chapter 62 if woven
- Lehengas, salwar suits, dresses — chapter 62, under “other garments” or women’s dresses/ensembles
- T-shirts, men’s shirts — 6109 (T-shirts), 6105/6205 (shirts, knitted/woven)
- Footwear — 6403 (leather), 6404 (textile upper), 6402 (rubber/plastic)
- Jewellery — 7117 (imitation/fashion), 7113 (fine, precious metal)
- Bags and wallets — 4202
Search the tool above for the exact code and chapter description — this list is the shape of it, not the full table.
HSN code vs. GST rate — the distinction that matters for filing
These are two different things, and conflating them is where filing mistakes come from.
The HSN code is a classification under the Customs Tariff Act. It changes rarely and mostly to add new product categories, not to reclassify existing ones. The codes on this page are safe to treat as stable.
The GST rate applied against that code is policy, and apparel/footwear rates have moved more than once — most recently in the GST 2.0 rate reset effective 22 September 2025, and before that in the 2022 restructuring. Rates on apparel and footwear also commonly run on a sale-value band rather than one flat percentage per HSN, so the same code can sit in different bands depending on price.
Confirm the live rate on the GST portal or with your CA before filing. Nothing on this page should be the number you invoice against.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the HSN code for clothing?
It depends on the garment and whether it is knitted or woven — apparel sits under chapter 61 (knitted) or 62 (woven) of the tariff schedule, with the specific heading set by the garment type. A saree is different again, classified by fabric fibre rather than as a finished garment, since it is sold unstitched. Search the tool above for your specific product.
What is the HSN code for sarees?
It follows the fabric, not a single "saree" code: silk sarees fall under 5007, cotton under 5208–5212, and synthetic/art-silk under 5407–5408. This is because an unstitched saree length is classified as fabric, not as a garment.
What is the HSN code for footwear?
6403 for leather uppers, 6404 for textile uppers, and 6402 for rubber or plastic uppers such as sandals and flip-flops. The GST rate band on footwear, like apparel, runs by sale value — check the current threshold before filing.
Is the GST rate on this page accurate?
The HSN codes are stable classifications and shown with normal confidence. The GST rate bands are shown as indicative only, because apparel and footwear GST has been restructured more than once — most recently in September 2025 — and often runs on a sale-value band rather than one flat rate per code. Confirm the exact current rate on the GST portal before you file.
Why doesn’t this tool cover every HSN code?
Because the full HSN list covers every GST-registered trade in India — petrol, steel, dairy, machinery — and almost none of it applies to a fashion or accessories seller. This tool is scoped to garments, footwear, bags, jewellery and accessories on purpose, so the result you get is actually relevant.
Built for one audience: fashion and accessories sellers. If your product isn’t apparel, footwear, a bag or jewellery, this table won’t have it — that is deliberate scope, not an oversight.
