About Chapter 69
Chapter 69 of the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) is titled “Ceramic products”. It is part of Section XIII, Stone, Cement, Ceramic & Glass, together with Chapter 68 (articles of stone, plaster, cement, asbestos) and Chapter 70 (glass and glassware).
The chapter is divided into 13 headings, from 6901 (bricks, blocks) to 6914 (other ceramic articles). The headings with the most codes that people search for are refractory bricks, blocks, tiles and similar refractory ceramic constructional goods (6902), tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and toilet articles (6911), roofing tiles, chimney-pots, cowls, chimney liners (6905), ceramic pipes, conduits, guttering and pipe fittings (6906) and ceramic flags and paving, hearth or wall tiles, ceramic mosaic cubes and the like (6907).
Note 1 limits the chapter to ceramic products fired after shaping, and Note 2 sends imitation jewellery to Chapter 71, artificial teeth to heading 9021 and electrical insulators to heading 8546.
Every heading is listed below. Under each are the codes that have their own page on Laabam One, 11 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 69: 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.
