Can I trust the HS code a 1688 supplier gives me?

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.

India's HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) uses the same WCO base, so HSN 982011 covers the same "apparel articles (other than socks provided for…" scope; India then extends it to 8 digits for GST and customs. Check the Indian Customs tariff (CBIC) for the full national line.
