Table of the HSN Codes for Medical Devices – 

The structure of HSN code has about 21 groups, and these groups are further classified into 99 chapters. The chapters are then divided into headings that are about 1244 in number. The headings are subsequently divided into 5224 subheadings. In the code itself, this plays out in the following manner:

• Each Chapter is named as a two-digit HSN number.
• Each two-digit HSN number is sub-classified into a four-digit HSN code.
• Later, such four-digit HSN codes are further sub-classified into the six-digit HSN code
