Quick Summary
Gift hampers containing chocolates and nuts are classified based on individual items or as a composite product. Chocolates fall under HSN 1806, nuts under 0802, and mixed hampers are generally classified under HSN 2106. Proper classification depends on whether items are billed separately or as a combo.

Hey Siddharth! For gift hampers containing chocolates and nuts, the HSN classification depends on the predominant item or you may list the items separately if detailed reporting is required.

Here’s a quick guide:

  • Chocolates:
    Usually fall under HSN Code 1806 – “Chocolate and other food preparations containing cocoa.”

  • Nuts:
    Depending on the type, generally under HSN Code 0802 – “Other nuts, fresh or dried, whether or not shelled or peeled.”


For Gift Hampers (Mixed Products):

  • If you are classifying the hamper as a single product, use the HSN Code 2106 — “Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included.”

  • This is often used for mixed food gift packs, assortments, or hampers.


Best Practice:

  • Mention individual HSN codes for each item in detailed invoices.

  • If that’s not possible and hamper is sold as a composite product, use 2106.
