About Chapter 07
Chapter 07 of the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) is titled “Edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers”. It is part of Section II, Vegetable Products, together with Chapter 06 (live trees and other plants, bulbs, roots and the like), 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 14 headings, from 0701 (potatoes, fresh or chilled) to 0714 (manioc, arrowroot, salep, jerusalem artichokes). The headings with the most codes that people search for are dried leguminous vegetables, shelled, whether or not skinned or split (0713), other vegetables, fresh or chilled (0709), vegetables provisionally preserved, but unsuitable in that state for immediate consumption (0711), dried vegetables, whole, cut, sliced, broken or in powder, but not further prepared (0712) and onions, shallots, garlic, leeks and other alliaceous vegetables, fresh or chilled (0703).
Note 2 widens “vegetables” in headings 0709 to 0712 to take in edible mushrooms, truffles, olives, capers, pumpkins, aubergines, sweet corn and fruits of the genus Capsicum, among others, and Note 1 leaves forage products to heading 1214.
Every heading is listed below. Under each are the codes that have their own page on Laabam One, 13 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 07: 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.
