Questions

What is an HSN code?

HSN stands for Harmonized System of Nomenclature. It is a numeric code that classifies goods, so the same product has the same code across invoices and GST returns.

Is HSN code mandatory on GST invoices?

Yes, for most businesses. With turnover up to ₹5 crore you show 4 digits on B2B invoices; above ₹5 crore you show 6 digits on all invoices.

What is the difference between HSN and SAC?

HSN codes are for goods. SAC (Services Accounting Code) is for services and starts with 99, for example 9954 for construction services.

Does this tool show the GST rate?

No. GST rates can differ within the same heading depending on the exact item, so confirm the rate for your product. You can then use our free GST calculator to work out the tax.

How do I find the HSN code for my product?

Type the product name in simple English, like “biscuits” or “cement”, or type the first digits of a code. Open the closest match and use the code that describes your item most exactly.
