Auto parts and components is classified under HS heading 8708 (parts and accessories of the motor vehicles of headings 8701 to 8705). The exact 6-digit subheading depends on the material, construction and specification of what you make, and the 8-digit ITC-HS line is what India actually files.
In India the GST HSN code and the export ITC-HS code are the same nomenclature, so this line is the one your GST invoice and your shipping bill share. The classification is shown here; the applicable GST rate is not.

A classification is a fact any lookup can give you. Heading 8708 sits in chapter 87 (transport & vehicles), and the subheading that actually applies to your auto parts and components depends on material, construction and specification. Getting that choice right changes the duty your buyer pays. But the correct code still does not tell you which countries are buying auto parts and components right now, what duty each of them charges on the Indian line, or whether that demand has grown or faded. Those answers come from trade data, not from a code table, and they are what decides whether a market is worth entering at all. diipl's free Market Research Report answers them for your specific product.
The 6-digit line is international. India requires the 8-digit ITC-HS for both import and export. Look up every 8-digit line under 8708 free, with whether India actually exported on it, in the HS code finder. What a code table cannot tell you is where the product sells.

HS 8708 classification: common questions
What is the HS code for auto parts and components?
Auto parts and components falls under HS heading 8708 (parts and accessories of the motor vehicles of headings 8701 to 8705). The exact 6-digit subheading depends on the material, construction and specification, and India files an 8-digit ITC-HS line on the shipping bill. You can look up every 8-digit line under it free, and whether India actually exported on it, in the diipl HS code finder. The free Market Research Report covers what a code cannot: which countries buy it, at what duty, and whether that demand is growing.
What is the difference between the 6-digit HS code and the 8-digit ITC-HS code?
The first 6 digits are the international Harmonized System subheading, identical in every member country. India extends it to 8 digits as the ITC-HS line, and that is what appears on your shipping bill. The 8-digit line decides the duty your buyer pays, whether an FTA preferential rate and certificate of origin apply, your RoDTEP or drawback rate, and whether an export licence is required. Indian ITC-HS lines are re-notified periodically, so a code that was correct last year may no longer be active.
