Reading code 041010

The first two digits (04) place this code in chapter 04 — Dairy, Eggs, Honey. Heading 0410 groups the product family, and the remaining digits pin down this specific 6-digit classification. 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.
