Overview & methodology

What is the GST rate for HSN codes?
The India GST HSN Rate Finder identifies the applicable IGST, CGST, and SGST brackets for over 2,900 commodities. In 2026, export transactions are typically 'zero-rated' (0% GST), provided the exporter files an LUT (Letter of Undertaking) or claims a refund of the GST paid on inputs.
LUT vs IGST Payment for Exports 2026
Indian exporters can supply goods without tax under a Letter of Undertaking (LUT) or pay IGST and claim a refund later. In 2026, the GSTN portal has streamlined LUT filing to a one-minute process, which is generally preferred to avoid working capital blockage.

Frequently asked questions

What GST rate applies to imports into India?

Imports attract IGST (Integrated GST) at the same rate as domestic supply. Common rates are 5% (essential goods), 12%, 18% (most manufactured goods), and 28% (luxury/demerit goods). IGST is levied on CIF value + Basic Customs Duty (BCD) + Social Welfare Surcharge.

What is the HSN code?

The Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code is India's product classification system, aligned with the WCO HS at the 6-digit level and extended to 8 digits for Indian customs and GST purposes. The HSN code determines the applicable GST rate and BCD rate.

How is India Basic Customs Duty calculated?

BCD = CIF value (in INR) × BCD rate. Then Social Welfare Surcharge = 10% × BCD. Then IGST = (CIF + BCD + SWS) × IGST rate. Use the Landed Cost Calculator for the full stacked calculation across multiple destinations.
