About Chapter 06
Chapter 06 of the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) is titled “Live trees and other plants , bulbs, roots and the like, cut flowers and ornamental foliage”. It is part of Section II, Vegetable Products, together with Chapter 07 (edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers), Chapter 08 (edible fruit and nuts; peel of citrus fruit or melons), Chapter 09 (coffee, tea, mate and spices), Chapter 10 (cereals), Chapter 11 (products of the milling industry; malt; starches; inulin), Chapter 12 (oil seeds and oleaginous fruits, miscellaneous grains), Chapter 13 (lac; gums, resins and other vegetable saps and extracts) and Chapter 14 (vegetable plaiting materials).
The chapter is divided into 4 headings, from 0601 (bulbs, tubers, tuberous roots, corms, crowns and rhizomes, dormant, in growth or in flower) to 0604 (foliage, branches and other parts of plants, without flowers or flower buds, and grasses). The headings with the most codes that people search for are other live plants (including their roots), cuttings and slips; mushroom spawn (0602), cut flowers and flower buds of a kind suitable for bouquets or for ornamental purposes (0603) and foliage, branches and other parts of plants, without flowers or flower buds, and grasses (0604).
Every heading is listed below. Under each are the codes that have their own page on Laabam One, 3 codes in this chapter, each with its full classification: its chapter, heading and sub-heading, and the codes beside it.
Every code in this chapter begins with 06: four digits make a heading, six a sub-heading, and eight a tariff item of India's Customs Tariff. How many of those digits a GST tax invoice shows depends on the business, not the goods: under Notification No. 78/2020 – Central Tax, from 1 April 2021, four digits where aggregate turnover in the previous financial year was up to ₹5 crore, and six above it. Up to ₹5 crore, the code may be left off invoices to unregistered buyers.
No GST rate is shown here. GST rates were revised in September 2025, and a rate appears on this site only once it has been checked against the CBIC rate notifications.
