Headings in HSN Chapter 42
The GST column shows the rate or rates at which Notification 9/2025-Central Tax (Rate) names the heading; a heading named nowhere takes the residual 18%. The duty column is the basic customs duty in the Customs Tariff.
| Heading | Description | GST rate | Basic customs duty | Codes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4201 | Saddlery and harness for any animal (including traces, leads, knee pads, muzzles, saddle cloths, saddle bags, dog coats and the like) of any material | 18% | 10% | 1 |
| 4202 | Trunks, suit-cases, vanity-cases, executive- cases, brief-cases, school satchels, spectacle cases, binocular cases, camera cases, musical instrument cases, gun cases, holsters and similar… | 5% / 18% | 15% | 44 |
| 4203 | Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, of leather or of composition leather | 5% / 18% | 10% | 11 |
| 4205 | Other articles of leather or of composition leather | 18% | 10% | 4 |
| 4206 | Articles of gut (other than silk-worm gut), of goldbeater’s skin, of bladders or of tendons | 18% | 10% | 2 |
Where a heading shows more than one rate, the rate depends on the description of the goods. Open the heading to read the entries.
