HSN code and HS code for construction equipment
Construction Equipment is classified under HS heading 8429 (self-propelled bulldozers, angledozers, graders, levellers, scrapers, mechanical shovels, excavators, shovel loaders, tamping machines and road rollers). 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.

Which one applies depends on your exact specification. Picking the wrong line changes the duty your buyer pays and the incentive you can claim.
- 842911 — Bulldozers and angledozers; self-propelled, track laying
- 842919 — Bulldozers and angledozers; self-propelled, other than track laying
- 842920 — Graders and levellers
- 842930 — Scrapers; self-propelled
- 842940 — Tamping machines and road rollers; self-propelled
- 842951 — Front-end shovel loaders
- 842952 — Mechanical shovels, excavators and shovel loaders; with a 360 degree revolving super structure
- 842959 — Mechanical shovels, excavators and shovel loaders; n.e.c. in item no. 8429.50
A classification is a fact any lookup can give you. Heading 8429 sits in chapter 84 (machinery & mechanical equipment), and the subheading that actually applies to your construction equipment 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 construction equipment 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 8429 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.

Frequently asked questions
What is the HS code for construction equipment?
Construction Equipment is classified under HS heading 8429 (self-propelled bulldozers, angledozers, graders, levellers, scrapers, mechanical shovels, excavators, shovel loaders, tamping machines and road rollers). 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 free, and whether India actually exported on it, in the diipl HS code finder.
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, the same 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.
