Reading code 090121

The first two digits (09) place this code in chapter 09 — Coffee, Tea, and Spices. Heading 0901 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.

Coffee, tea, maté, pepper, chilli, turmeric, ginger, and other spices — staples of India's plantation and spice trade, mostly at 5% GST.
