The mistake sellers make with 6204
The single most common mistake in apparel is picking the code by garment name instead of by fabric construction. 6204 covers woven kurtis. If your kurti is made from knitted or stretch fabric — most rayon-blend and jersey kurtis are — it belongs under 6104 instead. The garment looks identical on the rack. Pull the fabric: if it stretches and the edge curls, it is knitted.
Where 6204 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 6204:
| Code | Covers |
|---|---|
| 6204 42 | Dresses of cotton |
| 6204 43 | Dresses of synthetic fibres |
| 6204 49 | Dresses of other textile materials |
| 6204 52 | Skirts of cotton |
| 6204 62 | Trousers of cotton |
What this looks like on an invoice
| Taxable value | ₹599.00 |
|---|---|
| CGST @ 2.5% | ₹14.98 |
| SGST @ 2.5% | ₹14.98 |
| Invoice total | ₹628.95 |
A ₹599 kurti sold within your state. On an interstate sale the same ₹29.95 is charged as a single IGST line instead of the CGST/SGST split.
Selling this on a marketplace
On Meesho this sits under Women Ethnic → Kurtis. Amazon files it under Clothing & Accessories → Women → Ethnic Wear. Both platforms ask for HSN at listing time, and both will happily accept a wrong one — the validation is on your side, not theirs.
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.
