A classification note worth getting right
Jaggery of all types — cane jaggery (gur), palmyra jaggery, khandsari sugar, and rab, pre-packaged and labelled — is actually classified under a combined "1701 or 1702" heading, not a standalone HSN 1702 entry. Plain HSN 1701 (refined cane/beet sugar) explicitly excludes jaggery, khandsari sugar and rab from its own listing precisely because they're covered by this separate combined entry instead.
Meanwhile, standalone HSN 1702 on its own covers a different product category: other sugars in solid form (including chemically pure lactose, maltose, glucose, fructose), sugar syrups, and caramel at 5% — plus artificial honey specifically at 18%, a notably different rate under the same base code.
If you're filing for jaggery specifically, reference the jaggery-specific "1701 or 1702" combined entry rather than assuming standalone 1702's general sugar-syrup listing applies — they're taxed the same at 5%, but they're not the same line item, and getting the reference right matters for audit trail accuracy even when the rate outcome is identical.
This is one of several HSN codes carrying more than one GST rate under the same heading — see the full list of examples.
