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.

What is the GST rate for exports?

Exports are taxed at 0% IGST, provided the exporter is GST-registered and issues a proper tax invoice. The ITC on input goods must be reversed or refunded. Some services exported by unregistered persons are exempt from GST.

How do I claim GST refunds on exports?

GST refunds on exports are claimed monthly via GSTR-1 (returns filing). The CBIC processes refunds based on zero-rated export invoices. Refund claims must be filed within two years and are subject to verification and anti-evasion checks.
