HSN Code 0406

Reading code 0406

The first two digits (04) place this code in chapter 04 — Dairy, Eggs, Honey. As a 4-digit heading it groups a whole product family; 6 and 8-digit codes underneath it get more specific. Remember: you can never invent a shorter code by truncating a longer one — only codes that exist in the official tariff are valid.

Milk, cream, butter, ghee, cheese, curd, eggs, and natural honey. Fresh milk is exempt while value-added dairy like ghee, butter, and cheese attract GST.
