The Guidebook marks a pivotal milestone in the journey of India towards Viksit Bharat@2047 by serving as a catalyst for sharper policy interventions and effective trade negotiations through mapping of products to their relevant Ministries and Departments: Shri Goyal
Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Shri Piyush Goyal, released the Guidebook on Mapping of Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) Codes prepared by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) on 20th September 2025 during the event on “Celebrating 10 Years of Make in India and Discussion on Next Gen-Reforms 2.0” in New Delhi.

ions, import substitution efforts and redressal of industry concerns due to the absence of definitive mapping of HSN Codes. Further, unmapped Codes were misclassified as 'Residual Products' due to unclear ownership. To address the matter, DPIIT followed a holistic and proactive approach, by undertaking the value-chain and use-case analysis for each of the 12,167 HSN Codes sourced from the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) Tariff Manual.
Following this, a thorough review of the Allocation of Business (AoB) Rules, 1961, was done for mapping of each HSN Code based on the nature and end-use of the product. Once the preliminary mapping was completed, several Inter-Ministerial Consultations, multiple Joint Working Group meetings, over 300 one-on-one meetings with Ministries and Departments, and numerous Industry Stakeholder consultations were conducted. The feedback received was systematically analyzed and incorporated to ensure reflection of ground-level realities.

the World” pillar is dedicated to support more effective trade negotiations, thereby, enabling Indian products to capture a greater share in international markets.
In conclusion, the Guidebook on Mapping of HSN Codes is not merely a classification exercise but a strategic instrument for shaping the industrial future of India. It empowers Ministries and Departments to adopt an outcome-oriented approach to economic growth and development by streamlining custodianship of products. As India advances towards establishing itself as a global manufacturing hub, this Guidebook becomes pivotal in aligning policy, investment, and trade related matters. With the Guidebook as a catalyst, India is equipped to convert its industrial ambition into international leadership by laying the foundation for a robust and future-ready economy by 2047.
