HSN code · Customs Tariff of India · No longer a tariff item
38220090 is no longer a tariff item in the Customs Tariff of India. The HS 2022 edition of the Harmonized System split the line it belonged to, and India adopted the new lines through the Finance Act 2021 with effect from 1 January 2022; 5 current lines now share its goods. The lines, and how to choose between them, are below.
Status of this code
Not a tariff item in the current Customs Tariff of India
The change
The Harmonized System edition that split the line, the Finance Act that adopted it in India, and what is in force now.
Tariff item 3822 00 90 was a line of sub-heading 3822 00, then the only sub-heading of heading 3822 (“Diagnostic or laboratory reagents on a backing, prepared diagnostic or laboratory reagents whether or not on a backing, whether or not put up in the form of kits, other than those of heading 3006; certified reference materials”). Its 8-digit wording was not found in an official source and is not reproduced here.
The Harmonized System 2022 edition split sub-heading 3822.00: the WCO correlation tables, HS 2017 to HS 2022 (Table I) shows 3822.12, 3822.19 and 3822.90 each taking part of the former 3822.00. India adopted the new lines through the Finance Act 2021 (No. 13 of 2021), Fourth Schedule (“for heading 3822, sub-heading 3822 00, tariff items 3822 00 11 to 3822 00 90 … substituted”), with effect from 1 January 2022.
The 5 lines listed below share the goods. Each has its own GST rate entries, shown on its page.

3822 90 90Start with the group: the tariff divides these lines into 3 groups, each headed by its own wording. Pick the group that describes your goods, then the line within it.
A line reading “Other” takes the goods of its group that no other line in the group names. Specific lines come before “Other”.
The split follows the kind of reagent: 3822 12 00 and 3822 19 are diagnostic or laboratory reagents on a backing or in kits; 3822 90 covers the rest of the heading, including certified reference materials.
GST rates are not repeated here: each current code's page shows its own GST rate entries.
About this page
The split of the old line follows the World Customs Organization's correlation tables between editions of the Harmonized System (WCO correlation tables, HS 2017 to HS 2022, Table I) and the Finance Act 2021 (No. 13 of 2021), Fourth Schedule, which brought the new lines into the Indian tariff. The current lines are taken from the Customs Tariff of India, First Schedule (Customs Tariff Act, 1975), CBIC edition as on 30 June 2024, with the tariff-line changes of the Finance (No. 2) Act 2024, Finance Act 2025 and Finance Act 2026 applied.
This is reference information on a code that is no longer a tariff item. It is not advice on how your own goods should be classified, and the official tariff and notifications prevail if the two ever differ. A change in the tariff re-opens this page for an update.
