About HSN Chapter 16 (Preparations of Meat, of Fish or of Crustaceans)

Chapter 16 of the Harmonized System of Nomenclature covers preparations of meat, of fish or of crustaceans. Every product imported, exported or supplied under GST is classified under a 6-digit HSN code derived from this chapter structure — the first two digits (16) identify the chapter, the next two the heading, and the last two the specific product.

Use the correct 6-digit code on GST invoices: taxpayers with turnover above ₹5 crore must quote 6 digits, and those between ₹1.5 crore and ₹5 crore must quote at least 4 digits. If you are unsure which heading your product falls under, our experts can confirm the right classification for you.
