ITC (HS) Classification
The Indian Trade Classification (Harmonised System) is a compilation of codes for all
merchandise/goods for export/import.

• Goods are classified based on their group or sub group at 2/4/6/8 digits.

• ITC(HS) is aligned at 6 digit level with International Harmonised System goods

nomenclature maintained by World Customs Organisation (http://www.wcoomd.org)

• India maintains national Harmonised System of Goods at 8 digit level which may be
viewed by clicking on ‘Downloads’ at http://dgft.gov.in

• The import/export policies for all goods are indicated against each item in the ITC(HS).

• Helps in the uniform application of practices like identification, trading, regulation,

maintenance and analysis of trade statistics etc.

• The first 2 digits represent the chapter heading, the next 2 digits represent the heading
or groupings within the chapter and the third 2 digit represents the subheading. For
the detailed classification in India we use the 8 digit classification.
Classification of Import/Export Items
• Freely Importable/Exportable
• Restricted
• Prohibited
• SCOMET-Special Chemicals, Organisms,
Micro-organisms, Equipment and Technology
which is in line with Important Treaties and
