The HSN code for women’s suits and ensembles is 6204<\/strong> when the garments are not knitted or crocheted. The specific classification depends on whether the product is a suit or ensemble and the textile material used.<\/p>\n

The applicable GST rate is 5% for garments with a sale value not exceeding \u20b92,500 per piece and 18% for garments above \u20b92,500 per piece<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What Is the HSN Code for Women’s Suits and Ensembles?<\/h2>\n

Women’s and girls’ woven suits and ensembles fall under HSN Heading 6204<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This heading covers several types of women’s garments, including suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts and trousers.<\/p>\n

For suits and ensembles specifically, the tariff distinguishes products based on their textile composition.<\/p>\n

HSN Codes for Different Types of Women’s Suits and Ensembles<\/h2>\n

The exact HSN depends on the garment type and fabric.<\/p>\n

620429<\/td>\nEnsembles made of other textile materials<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

These are six-digit classifications. The applicable eight-digit Indian tariff code should be selected based on the specific garment and any additional distinctions in the tariff schedule.<\/p>\n

GST Rate on Women’s Suits and Ensembles<\/h2>\n

The GST rate for qualifying women’s suits and ensembles under Chapter 62 depends on the sale value per piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Sale Value<\/th>\nGST Rate<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
Not exceeding \u20b92,500 per piece<\/td>\n5%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Exceeding \u20b92,500 per piece<\/td>\n18%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

For garments attracting 5% GST, the applicable intra-state tax is 2.5% CGST and 2.5% SGST.<\/p>\n

For garments attracting 18% GST, the applicable intra-state tax is 9% CGST and 9% SGST.<\/p>\n

The revised \u20b92,500 threshold became effective on 22 September 2025.<\/p>\n

Difference Between Women’s Suits and Ensembles<\/h2>\n

Although both fall under HSN 6204 when made from woven fabrics, suits and ensembles have distinct tariff classifications.<\/p>\n

Women’s suits<\/strong> generally consist of matching garments designed as a coordinated formal outfit, meeting the relevant tariff definition of a suit.<\/p>\n

Women’s ensembles<\/strong> are coordinated sets of garments made from compatible fabric and intended to be worn together, meeting the tariff definition of an ensemble.<\/p>\n

A matching outfit is not automatically an ensemble for HSN purposes. Its components and construction must satisfy the applicable classification requirements.<\/p>\n

Does HSN 6204 Apply to Salwar Suits and Kurta Sets?<\/h2>\n

Not necessarily.<\/p>\n

Traditional Indian garments such as salwar-kameez sets, kurta sets and other ethnic outfits should be classified according to their actual construction, textile material and applicable tariff description.<\/p>\n

They should not automatically be assigned HSN 6204 merely because they are commercially described as women’s suits.<\/p>\n

Similarly, knitted or crocheted women’s garments generally fall under Chapter 61<\/strong>, with Heading 6104<\/strong> covering qualifying women’s suits and ensembles.<\/p>\n

How to Identify the Correct HSN Code<\/h2>\n

Businesses selling women’s suits and ensembles should check three factors:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Garment construction:<\/strong> Whether the clothing is woven or knitted.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Product type:<\/strong> Whether it qualifies as a suit, ensemble or another garment.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Fabric composition:<\/strong> Whether it is made from cotton, wool, synthetic fibres or another textile material.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These details help identify the appropriate tariff subheading and specific Indian eight-digit classification.<\/p>\n

    Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Does embroidery change the HSN code for a women's suit?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t

    It can affect the specific eight-digit tariff item. Certain Indian tariff classifications distinguish embroidered garments, including particular types of embroidery.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Is the GST threshold based on the MRP?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t

    The applicable GST entry refers to the sale value per piece, not simply the printed MRP. Businesses should apply the relevant valuation rules when determining the rate.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Can a separately sold blazer use the same HSN as a complete suit?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Not automatically. A separately sold women's blazer generally falls under the relevant jacket or blazer classification within Heading 6204 rather than the subheading for a complete suit.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Do unstitched dress materials fall under HSN 6204?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Not automatically. Unstitched fabric and dress materials may be classified under the applicable textile fabric headings rather than as finished garments.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n
