The jeans hsn code is 6203 for men's and boys' jeans and trousers and 6204 for women's and girls', and GST is 5% for a piece billed at Rs 2,500 or less, and 18% above that. Knitted lowers, track pants and leggings move to 6103 and 6104 but follow the same price test.
Before the reform the line was Rs 1,000, with 12% above it, so most jeans now pay less tax. Below you will find the woven versus knitted split, the fibre lines, a garment shop bill and the per piece rule, with shirts and tops covered from the clothes hub.

6203 and 6204 hsn code gst rate
Chapter 62 covers garments that are not knitted. Heading 6203 is for men's and boys' suits, jackets, trousers and shorts; 6204 is the same for women and girls. The 6 digit level shows the fibre: 42 for cotton, 43 for synthetic fibres. The Schedule I entry makes Chapter 62 garments 5% up to Rs 2,500 a piece, and Schedule II makes them 18% above.
Track pant and leggings hsn code: knitted
Track pants, joggers, lowers and leggings are usually knitted, so they go under Chapter 61: 6103 for men and 6104 for women. The same Rs 2,500 per piece test applies. See T-shirts for other knitted wear.
The Rs 2,500 per piece rule
Each garment is judged on its own invoice value. A pair of jeans billed at Rs 2,400 is 5%; at Rs 2,600, 18%. Trade discounts shown on the invoice reduce the value. A combo of two jeans billed at Rs 4,000 is Rs 2,000 each and stays at 5%.

Air blower and other stray searches
Searches for "blower hsn code" often come from the same shops. An air blower is a fan or blower under 8414 59 at 18%, covered on the machinery page, not a garment.
Bottom wear codes on this page are for general reference. Combos, discounts and fibre blends can change the result, so check the GST portal entry and ask a GST practitioner or chartered accountant about your pricing.
