About chapter 49
Chapter 49 of the ITC-HS schedule covers printed books, newspapers, pictures; printing industry products. It contains 11 4-digit headings and 34 8-digit India-specific tariff codes.
When you raise an invoice for goods in this chapter, the right HSN comes from the most specific 8-digit code that matches your product. Use the search above to filter, or click any heading row to expand and see all sub-codes.
Need GST rates? They're not shown here intentionally — rates change at every Council meeting and stale rate data is misleading. Refer to gst.gov.in's rate finder once you have the correct HSN.
