Khadi gets separate unique HS code

The ministry of commerce and industries has allocated a separate Harmonized System(HS) code to Khadi fabrics.
HS Stands for Harmonized System and it is a six digit identification code. It was developed by the WCO (World Customs Organization- HQ- Brussels, Belgium) and custom officers use HS Code to clear every commodity that enters or crosses any international border.
Before: Earlier, Khadi did not have its exclusive HS code. As a result, all the data regarding export of this signature fabric used to come as a normal fabric under the textile head. As a result it was not possible to keep a track on exact export figures of Khadi Fabrics.
Now: Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) can now keep a track of export figures and plan the export strategies for Khadi products.
