HSN Code 4902

Reading code 4902

The first two digits (49) place this code in chapter 49 — Printed Books, Newspapers, Pictures. 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.

Printed books, newspapers, journals, maps, and similar printed matter. Printed books and newspapers are exempt from GST.
