How to read this code
48.10 is the four-digit HS heading. Your destination country extends it to 8–10 digits and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty for many goods — check our import guides for your market.
