Pant HSN Code

Understanding the Pant HSN Code

The term “pant” is broadly used to refer to various types of lower garments. Consequently, the HSN code for “pant” isn’t singular and depends heavily on the specific type of pant, the material it’s made of, and whether it’s knitted or non-knitted. The provided data offers insights into the HSN classification of various undergarments and related apparel, which helps us understand where different types of pants might be categorized.

Based on the data, knitted or crocheted undergarments like briefs and panties for women and girls fall under Chapter 61: Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted:

• 61082100: Womens Or Girls Briefs And Panties : Of Cotton, with a 12% GST rate (effective 01/07/2017).
• 61082220: Womens Or Girls Briefs And Panties : Of Man-Made Fibres : Of Artificial Fibres, with a 12% GST rate (effective 01/07/2017).
• Various sub-headings under 6108 also cover slips and petticoats for women and girls, with a 12% GST rate generally, except for items with a sale value not exceeding Rs. 1000 per piece, which have a 5% GST rate.

The data also includes pantyhose and tights under Chapter 61:

• 61151100: Panty Hose And Tights : Of Synthetic Fibres, Measuring Per Single Yarn Less Than 67 Decitex, with a 12% GST rate (effective 01/07/2017).
• 61151930: Panty Hose And Tights : Of Other Textile Materials : Of Artificial Fibres, with a 12% GST rate (effective 01/07/2017).
• 61152100 and implied sub-headings: Other Panty Hose And Tights, generally with a 12% GST rate (effective 01/07/2017).

For non-knitted or non-crocheted undergarments like briefs and panties, Chapter 62: Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted would be relevant, although the provided data doesn’t explicitly list these. However, it does include other related items:

• 6208 (various sub-headings): Womens Or Girls Singlets And Other Vests, Slips, Petticoats, Briefs, Panties, Nightdresses, Pyjamas, Negliges, Bathrobes, Dressing Gowns And Similar Articles. These have a 12% GST rate generally, with a 5% rate for slips and petticoats with a sale value not exceeding Rs. 1000 per piece.

It’s important to note that the term “pant” in everyday language often refers to trousers or shorts, which are not explicitly covered in this specific dataset. These would fall under different headings within Chapters 61 or 62 depending on whether they are knitted/crocheted or woven, and the material used (cotton, synthetic fibers, wool, etc.).

The data also includes seemingly unrelated HSN codes:

• Chapter 90: Drawing, Marking-Out Or Mathematical Calculating Instruments (Pantographs), with an 18% GST rate. This is a completely different product category.

Therefore, the HSN code for “pant” is highly context-dependent. For undergarments like briefs and panties, Chapters 61 and 62 are relevant. For trousers and shorts, further details on the fabric and knit type are needed to determine the correct classification within these chapters.
