Why HSN classification always goes wrong.
A single wrong digit costs lakhs
One HSN digit error means wrong duty rates, rejected Drawback claims, and customs delays. With 21,000+ codes, manual selection is a guessing game.
RoDTEP vs Drawback — most exporters pick blind
Both schemes exist for the same shipment but most exporters pick one without comparing. The difference can be 40–60% of total incentive value.
2–4 hours of manual research per classification
Cross-referencing schedules, rate notifications, and DGFT circulars is a full-time job. Most teams don't have the bandwidth to do it properly.
Stale rates trigger surprise duties at customs
Duty rates change with every budget and notification. Exporters working from outdated data face unexpected levies, delays, and compliance notices.

Manual research vs TariffIQ.
“HSN misclassification is the single largest source of preventable financial loss for Indian exporters. When you classify at the 4-digit level instead of the correct 8-digit ITC-HS code, you are not just risking a customs notice — you are leaving your RoDTEP and Drawback refunds on the table permanently. The CBIC Drawback Schedule is HS-code-specific, and a single digit wrong at the 8-digit level can mean your product draws zero refund instead of 3–5% of FOB value.
