HS Code, ITC-HS, CN and HTS: What's the Difference?
The Harmonized System (HS) is the World Customs Organization's product classification, used by more than 200 countries. The first 6 digits are the same everywhere. Each country then adds its own digits: India uses 8-digit ITC-HS codes for exports and imports, the EU uses 8-digit CN codes (10-digit TARIC for duties), and the USA uses 10-digit HTS codes. So cumin is 0909.31 everywhere, 0909 31 29 on an Indian shipping bill, and has its own longer code in the importing country.
| System | Digits | Used by | Example: whole cumin |
|---|---|---|---|
| HS | 6 | All WCO members | 0909.31 |
| ITC-HS | 8 | India (exports and imports) | 0909 31 29 |
| CN / TARIC | 8 / 10 | European Union | — |
| HTS | 10 | United States | — |

Same Crop, Different Code: Classification Traps
Processing can move a product to a different heading. These are the cases our buyers ask about most.
| Product | Code changes when… | Codes |
|---|---|---|
| Peanuts | In shell vs shelled; raw vs roasted or blanched (some countries) | 1202 41 in shell · 1202 42 shelled · 2008 11 roasted / peanut butter |
| Spices | Whole vs crushed or ground | Cumin 0909 31 whole · 0909 32 ground; turmeric 0910 30 20 dried · 0910 30 30 powder |
| Ginger | Fresh vs dried vs powder | 0910 11 fresh or dried · 0910 12 crushed or ground |
| Chickpeas | Dried vs roasted | 0713 20 dried · 2008 19 roasted |
| Onion and garlic | Fresh vs dehydrated | 0703 fresh · 0712 20 dried onion · 0712 90 dried garlic |
| Potato | Flakes vs powder | 1105 20 flakes, granules, pellets · 1105 10 flour and powder |
| Maize | Grain vs grits vs flour | 1005 90 grain · 1103 13 grits · 1102 20 flour |
| Oilseed meals | By seed and process | 2304 soybean · 2305 groundnut · 2306 others (rapeseed 2306 49) |
| Black cumin | Nigella sativa is often declared as black cumin, but some customs treat it as a seed spice under 0910 99 | — |
When in doubt, ask for a binding tariff ruling in the importing country.
Indian Export Policy Changes to Know (2025–26)
- Wheat and wheat flour: exports free again since 24 August 2026 (DGFT Notifications 35/2026-27 and 34/2026-27), after the ban of May 2022.
- De-oiled rice bran: exports free again since 3 October 2025 (DGFT Notification 37/2025-26), after the ban of July 2023.
- Rice (not currently on our range): some rice lines carry a statutory export duty; check CBIC before contracting.
- GST: exports are zero-rated, so no Indian GST is added to our export prices.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between an HS code and an ITC-HS code?
The HS code is the 6-digit international code shared by all countries. ITC-HS is India's 8-digit version, which adds two digits for more detail and is used on Indian shipping bills and in export policy.
How do I find the HS code for my product?
Search the product name in the finder above, or look it up in your country's official tariff (for India: CBIC Customs Tariff, ICEGATE or DGFT ITC-HS). The importing country's customs decides the final code.
Is the HS code the same in every country?
Only the first 6 digits. Countries add their own digits, so the full code for the same product differs between India, the EU and the USA.
What is the HS code for cumin seeds?
Whole cumin seeds are HS 0909.31; in India, cumin (other than black) whole is exported under ITC-HS 0909 31 29. Ground cumin is 0909.32.
What is the HS code for sesame seeds?
Sesame seeds are HS 1207.40; natural, hulled and black sesame are exported from India under ITC-HS 1207 40 90.
What is the HS code for groundnuts (peanuts)?
Shelled groundnut kernels are HS 1202.42 (India 1202 42 10 for HPS kernels) and in-shell groundnuts 1202.41. Roasted peanuts and peanut butter are 2008.11.
Are roasted peanuts and roasted chickpeas classified differently from raw?
Yes. Roasting moves them from Chapter 12 (peanuts) or 07 (chickpeas) to heading 2008 (prepared fruits and nuts): 2008 11 for roasted peanuts and 2008 19 for roasted chickpeas.
Is export of wheat and de-oiled rice bran allowed from India?
Yes. Wheat and wheat flour became free to export on 24 August 2026, and de-oiled rice bran on 3 October 2025, according to DGFT notifications. Check the current DGFT status before you contract.
