Sourcing this category from India
HS 8905.10 covers Dredgers. It is a leaf classification, so it sets the duty line directly for goods that fall under it. India has an established shipbuilding and ship-recycling industry and exports vessels and floating structures. India exported $125.2M under this code worldwide in 2024, about 2.6% of all Chapter 89 exports, ranking #3 of 3 lines in its heading (UN Comtrade).
How to read this code
8905.10 is the six-digit HS subheading for dredgers. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many vehicles, aircraft & transport lines — check our import guides for your market.
In India this same number is called the HSN code (890510): GST registration, invoices and e-way bills all classify goods by HSN, and the applicable GST rate is notified against the 4–8 digit HSN — so Indian suppliers will quote you HSN 890510 for goods under this heading.
