Check your exact product. This rate is right for the usual case, but sub-headings under 6402 can differ — material, packaging or product claims can move an item to another slab.
The mistake sellers make with 6402
Footwear splits by upper material across three headings: 6402 for rubber or plastic uppers, 6403 for leather uppers, 6404 for textile uppers. A sports shoe with a mesh upper is 6404, not 6402, even though the sole is rubber. The sole tells you almost nothing — read the upper.
Where 6402 splits
The 4-digit heading is what most sellers report, but it divides further. If you report 6 or 8 digits, these are the branches under 6402:
| Code | Covers |
|---|---|
| 6402 19 | Other sports footwear |
| 6402 20 | Footwear with upper straps assembled to the sole by plugs |
| 6402 99 | Other footwear with rubber or plastic uppers |
What this looks like on an invoice
| Taxable value | ₹399.00 |
|---|---|
| CGST @ 2.5% | ₹9.98 |
| SGST @ 2.5% | ₹9.98 |
| Invoice total | ₹418.95 |
A ₹399 pair of sliders sold within your state. On an interstate sale the same ₹19.95 is charged as a single IGST line instead of the CGST/SGST split.
Selling this on a marketplace
Footwear has historically had value-linked rate distinctions, and this is an area where older published guidance is especially unreliable. Confirm the current position for your price band before bulk-updating listings.
Once the code is settled, the GST calculator will add or remove GST from any price, and the profit calculators show what you actually keep after marketplace fees.
If a rate you found elsewhere does not match this page, check the date on it. The 12% and 28% slabs were removed on 22 September 2025 — see the full before-and-after slab table.
