About Chapter 62
Chapter 62 of the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) is titled “Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted”.

The chapter is divided into 17 headings, from 6201 (men's or boys' overcoats, car-coats, cloaks, anoraks, wind-cheaters) to 6217 (other made up clothing accessories). The headings with the most codes that people search for are women's or girls' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts (6204), track suits, ski suits and swimwear, other garments (6211), shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils and the like (6214), men's or boys' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace oveb ralls (6203) and men's or boys' singlets and other vests, underpants, briefs, nightshirts, pyjamas (6207).
Note 1 limits the chapter to made-up articles of textile fabric other than wadding, leaving knitted and crocheted garments to Chapter 61, except those of heading 6212 (brassières, corsets and the like).
Every heading is listed below. Under each are the codes that have their own page on Laabam One, 34 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 62: 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.
