The mistake sellers make with 9403

9403 is furniture generally, but seats are carved out into 9401 and mattresses into 9404. A sofa is 9401, not 9403 — and a sofa-cum-bed sold as one unit is genuinely arguable. Furniture sellers routinely apply 9403 across the whole catalogue, which is wrong for every seating product they list.

Where 9403 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 9403:

What this looks like on an invoice

Worked GST calculation for Furniture at 18 percent

SGST @ 9%224.91
Invoice total2,948.82

A ₹2,499 wooden shoe rack sold within your state. On an interstate sale the same ₹449.82 is charged as a single IGST line instead of the CGST/SGST split.

Selling this on a marketplace

Furniture is dimensional-weight shipping, so marketplace freight often exceeds the product margin on low-value items. This is a category where the profit calculators matter more than the tax rate.

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.
