Cotton pants are a wardrobe staple for many, offering comfort and versatility. But for businesses involved in their manufacturing, supply, or retail, understanding the correct HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code and applicable GST (Goods and Services Tax) rate is crucial for compliance. This guide aims to shed light on these important aspects for cotton pants.
HSN codes are internationally recognized product classification codes used for taxation and trade purposes. They provide a standardized system for identifying goods, streamlining customs procedures, and ensuring consistent tax application globally. In India, HSN codes are a vital part of the GST regime.
The HSN code for cotton pants primarily falls under Chapter 62 of the HSN, which covers “Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted.” More specifically, cotton pants for men and boys are typically classified under 6203, while those for women and girls fall under 6204.
Within these broad categories, more specific subheadings exist depending on the garment’s characteristics. For instance:
It’s important to note that if the cotton pants are made from a blend of cotton and man-made fibers, and the cotton content is less than 85% by weight, the HSN code might be found under Chapter 52, specifically under codes like 52113240 for “Trousers or pant fabrics (excluding jeans and crepe)” which are woven fabrics of cotton mixed mainly or solely with man-made fibres. However, these codes generally refer to the fabric itself, not the finished garment. For finished garments, Chapters 61 (knitted or crocheted) or 62 (not knitted or crocheted) are usually applicable.
The GST rate for cotton pants in India depends on their sale value per piece:
This tiered structure aims to provide relief for more affordable clothing items while ensuring appropriate taxation for higher-priced garments.
By understanding these essential details, businesses can navigate the complexities of HSN codes and GST rates for cotton pants, ensuring smooth operations and compliance with Indian tax regulations.
An HSN code is an internationally recognized system for classifying goods for taxation and trade purposes.
HSN codes ensure standardized classification and consistent GST application for cotton pants in India and for international trade.
The primary HSN Chapter for finished cotton pants is Chapter 62, “Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted.”
Men’s or boys’ cotton trousers typically fall under HSN code 62034200.
If cotton pants are made of a cotton blend where cotton is less than 85% by weight, the HSN for the fabric might be under Chapter 52 (e.g., 52113240 for certain pant fabrics), but the finished garment still generally falls under Chapters 61 or 62.
Cotton pants with a sale value exceeding ₹1,000 per piece attract a 12% GST rate.
These GST rates for apparel and clothing accessories became effective from July 1, 2017.
