Smriti Irani releases HSN codes for technical textiles

摘要

Union Textiles Minister Smriti Zubin Irani released HSN codes for technical textiles during National Conclave on Technical Textiles, jointly organised by the Ministry of Textiles and FICCI, at Taj Hotel, Mumbai on January 29, 2019. To monitor the data of import and export and in order to provide any fiscal support to the technical textile sector, the first step was to recognise and notify separately the technical textiles items spread from chapter 1 to 99 of HSN classification book. In absence of clear classification of technical textiles, there was a confusion, and many genuine manufacturers were not getting various incentives being allowed to technical textile sector by the Central and State Governments. To fulfill the long-standing demand of industry to declare technical textile items as a separate category, Government of India has notified 207 HSN codes as technical textiles. She thanked Mohan Kavrie of Supreme Nonwovens Group and RD Udeshi of Reliance for helping the Ministry in drafting the codes.
