Verified Valves
manufacturers & suppliers in India

India supplies only a small slice of a world market that runs into billions, so the room to grow is real. diipl shows Indian makers exactly where their product fits and generates the verified buyers to capture it, and gives buyers a verified, meeting-ready Indian supplier, matched to their requirement.
HSN code and HS code for valves
The HSN code for valves is 848180 — taps, cocks, valves and similar appliances; for pipes, boiler shells, tanks, vats or the like, including thermostatically controlled valves. That is the 6-digit subheading, which is the same in every country that uses the Harmonized System.
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.

Commonly confused with HS 848180
Neighbouring subheadings in the same heading. Misclassification between them is the most common cause of a customs re-assessment.
- 848110 — Valves; pressure reducing, for pipes, boiler shells, tanks, vats or the like
- 848120 — Valves; for oleohydraulic or pneumatic transmissions
- 848130 — Valves; check (nonreturn) valves, for pipes, boiler shells, tanks, vats or the like
- 848140 — Valves; safety or relief valves, for pipes, boiler shells, tanks, vats or the like
- 848190 — Taps, cocks, valves and similar appliances; parts thereof
A classification is a fact any lookup can give you. HS 848180 sits in chapter 84 (machinery & mechanical equipment), next to 5 neighbouring subheadings under heading 8481 that differ by material, construction or specification. Getting that choice right changes the duty your buyer pays. But the correct code still does not tell you which countries are buying valves 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 848180 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.
Where does your valves fit in the global market?
India ships industrial valves, taps and cocks worth about $1.6 billion a year, one of its larger engineering-export lines, from clusters in Coimbatore, Ahmedabad, Rajkot and Mumbai. Gate, ball, butterfly, globe and check valves move into oil and gas, water, power and process plants worldwide. Buyers qualify on API and CE certification and vendor approval far more than on price, which makes this a relationship business. The exporters who win are the ones in front of the right procurement teams. diipl pinpoints the high-demand, low-tariff markets where you can win, generates the verified buyers there, and secures your compliance as you scale to the world.

Frequently asked questions
What is the HS code for valves?
The HS code for valves is 848180 — taps, cocks, valves and similar appliances; for pipes, boiler shells, tanks, vats or the like, including thermostatically controlled valves. That is the 6-digit subheading, which is identical in every country using the Harmonized System. India files an 8-digit ITC-HS line on the shipping bill. You can look up every 8-digit line under 848180 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.
