Reading code 0902

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

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