DPIIT Creates Guidebook for Product Code Mapping
The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) has made a helpful guide.
This guide helps different government departments know exactly which products they are responsible for.
It uses HSN codes, which are like a global language for classifying goods for trade.
This makes it easier to plan, invest, and trade.
It also assists in trade negotiations and helps businesses.
This will make trade smoother and more efficient.
DPIIT created a guidebook for mapping HSN codes.
12,167 codes allocated to 31 ministries and departments.
HSN codes are used internationally for classifying goods.
Guidebook aims to support policy making, investment, and trade facilitation.
The guidebook helps streamline regulatory processes.
