About Chapter 63
Chapter 63 of the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) is titled “Other made up textile articles; sets; worn clothing and worn textile articles; rags”. It is part of Section XI, Textiles & Textile Articles, together with Chapter 50 (silk), Chapter 51 (wool, fine or coarse animal hair), Chapter 52 (cotton), Chapter 53 (other vegetable textile fibres), Chapter 54 (man-made filaments), Chapter 55 (man-made staple fibres), Chapter 56 (wadding, felt and nonwovens; special yarns), Chapter 57 (carpets and other textile floor coverings), Chapter 58 (special fabrics, lace and embroidery), Chapter 59 (impregnated, coated, covered or laminated textile fabrics), Chapter 60 (knitted or crocheted fabrics), Chapter 61 (articles of apparel and clothing accessories) and Chapter 62 (articles of apparel and clothing accessories).
The chapter is divided into 10 headings, from 6301 (blankets and travelling rugs) to 6310 (used or new rags, scrap twine, cordage, rope and cables and worn out articles of twine). The headings with the most codes that people search for are tarpaulins, awnings and sunblinds; tents; sails for boats, sailboards or landcraft (6306), other made up articles, including dress patterns (6307), blankets and travelling rugs (6301), bed linen, table linen, toilet linen and kitchen linen (6302) and other furnishing articles, excluding those of heading 9403 (6304).
Note 3 limits heading 6309 (worn clothing and other worn articles) to listed goods: clothing and clothing accessories, blankets and travelling rugs, bed, table and kitchen linen, furnishing articles, and footwear and headgear of any material other than asbestos.
Every heading is listed below. Under each are the codes that have their own page on Laabam One, 18 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 63: 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.
