What this finder holds.

17,212 goods codes from a list titled “HSN Codes for GST Enrolment”, plus a short list of 44 service codes. It shows codes and descriptions only, not GST rates.

Ask our CA team

The goods list is not dated, so check your code on the GST portal before you use it.

Need every service code? See the Scheme of Classification of Services.

When to use it

When you need an HSN code.

Tax invoicesRule 46 of the CGST Rules lists the HSN code among the details a tax invoice must contain.

GST registrationThe application asks for at least one HSN code or service classification code.

GSTR-1Table 12 needs an HSN-wise summary of your sales, in B2B and B2C tabs.

GSTR-9Tables 17 and 18 hold the HSN summaries for the year.

The service behind it

Registering for GST? You need at least one code.

The GST registration application asks for at least one HSN code or service classification code. The form has its own search, “Search HSN Chapter by Name or Code”.

GSTN’s FAQ says there is no limit on the number of goods or services you can supply under one registration. Need help registering? See our GST registration service.

At least one HSN or service code in the application
“Search HSN Chapter by Name or Code” is built into the form
No limit on the goods or services you supply under one registration

How it works

How to find the HSN code for your product.

1

Type the name or the code. Use the name of the product or the material it is made of. If you already have a code, type it to see what it covers.

2

Read the whole description. Pick the code whose description matches what you sell, not only the first words.

3

Check it on the GST portal. Use the free search (steps below). If two codes seem to fit, do not guess. Ask a CA to check it.

How to check an HSN code on the GST portal

The GST portal has a free HSN search. You do not need to log in.

On gst.gov.in, go to Services > User Services > Search HSN Code.
Search by code (at least 3 digits) or by description (at least 3 characters). For a description search, choose Goods or Services.
Read the result. It shows the chapter, the description from the Customs Tariff, trade descriptions and related 4, 6 and 8-digit codes.

On the same page you can download the full HSN list in Excel (“Download HSN Directory in Excel Format”). The portal says its descriptions are only to help taxpayers and are not legally binding. This finder is a guide in the same way. It is not a ruling on your goods or services.

How many HSN digits must you show on an invoice?

Rule 46 of the CGST Rules lists the HSN code among the details a tax invoice must contain. Notification 78/2020-Central Tax sets how many digits, from 1 April 2021:

Your aggregate turnover in the previous financial year	HSN digits on a tax invoice
Up to ₹5 crore	4 digits. You may leave the code out on invoices to unregistered buyers (B2C)
More than ₹5 crore	6 digits

Eight digits for listed goods. For 49 goods listed in Notification 90/2020-Central Tax (chemicals and plastics in Chapters 28, 29, 38 and 39), every registered person must show all 8 digits.

In GSTR-1. Table 12 of GSTR-1 is the HSN-wise summary of your sales. It has two tabs, B2B Supplies and B2C Supplies, and you pick each code from a drop-down list. GSTN’s FAQ asks for at least 4 digits if your aggregate turnover is up to ₹5 crore and at least 6 digits above ₹5 crore. Our reading: B2C sales still need an HSN code in GSTR-1, even when the invoice may leave it out.

In GSTR-9. Table 17 is the HSN summary of outward supplies and Table 18 of inward supplies. See how to file GSTR-9.

What the digits mean

Digits	Level
4	Heading
6	Sub-heading
8	Tariff item

HSN codes come from the Harmonized System, an international product list developed by the World Customs Organization. Its codes have six digits, and more than 200 countries and economies use it as the base of their customs tariffs. GST rate notifications use the chapters, headings, sub-headings and tariff items of India’s Customs Tariff (the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975).

The method

HSN vs SAC, in short.

How classification works

HSN, goods

Up to 8 digits. Official list: India’s Customs Tariff (First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975).

SAC, services

A 6-digit service code under a 4-digit heading, always starting with 99 (Chapter 99, “All Services”). Official list: the Scheme of Classification of Services.

One code, three names

Rule 46 calls it the HSN code for services. The GST portal calls it SAC, and the registration form calls it a service classification code.

	HSN code	SAC (service code)
Used for	Goods	Services
Official list	India’s Customs Tariff (First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975)	Scheme of Classification of Services
Starts with	Depends on the product	99 (Chapter 99, “All Services”)
Length	Up to 8 digits	6-digit service code, under a 4-digit heading such as 9982
Example	2523: Portland cement and similar hydraulic cements	998231: Corporate tax consulting and preparation services
Digits on an invoice	4 or 6, by turnover (8 for 49 listed goods)	4 or 6, by turnover (our reading)

Why this finder does not show GST rates

A GST rate is set entry by entry in the rate notifications, and some entries carry conditions. For example, the 5% rate on clothing applies only up to a sale value of ₹2,500 per piece. The rate schedules for goods were replaced from 22 September 2025, when Notification 9/2025-Central Tax (Rate) superseded Notification 1/2017-Central Tax (Rate).

So this finder shows codes and descriptions only, and never an old rate. To find the rate for your code, check CBIC’s GST rates page or ask us. Once you know the rate, our GST calculator works out the tax.

FAQs

HSN / SAC questions

How can I check the HSN code for GST?

Type the product name or the code in the finder above. Then check the same code on the GST portal: Services > User Services > Search HSN Code. You do not need to log in.

Can I search the HSN code by product name?

Yes. Type the name in the finder. On the GST portal, search by description with at least 3 characters and choose Goods or Services.

How do I find my 8 digit HSN code?

Search your product, then pick the 8-digit code whose description matches. The 8-digit level is the tariff item. On the GST portal, each result lists related 4, 6 and 8-digit codes.

When do I need an 8 digit HSN code on an invoice?

For 49 chemical and plastic goods listed in Notification 90/2020-Central Tax, every registered person must show all 8 digits. For other goods, you show 4 or 6 digits, based on your turnover.

How many HSN digits do I need on my invoices?

If your aggregate turnover in the previous financial year was up to ₹5 crore, show 4 digits. Above ₹5 crore, show 6 digits. This is the rule in Notification 78/2020-Central Tax, from 1 April 2021.

Is HSN code mandatory on B2C invoices?

If your turnover in the previous financial year was up to ₹5 crore, you may leave the HSN code out of invoices to unregistered buyers. Above ₹5 crore, this relief does not apply. GSTR-1 still asks for HSN codes for B2C sales in Table 12.

What is SAC and HSN?

HSN codes classify goods. SAC codes classify services. Service codes come from the Scheme of Classification of Services and all start with 99.

Is SAC code 6 digit or 8 digit?

In the official Scheme of Classification of Services, the service code has 6 digits, for example 998231. The heading above it has 4 digits, for example 9982 for legal and accounting services.

Where can I find my SAC code?

Type the service in the finder, or search on the GST portal and choose Services. The official list is the Scheme of Classification of Services, the annexure to Notification 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate).

Can I find an HSN code for free?

Yes. This finder is free and needs no login. The GST portal’s Search HSN Code page is also free, and you can download the HSN list from it in Excel.

Do I need an HSN code for GST registration?

Yes. The application asks for at least one HSN code or service classification code. GSTN’s FAQ says there is no limit on the number of goods or services you can supply under one registration.

Does this finder show the GST rate?

No. It shows codes and descriptions only. The goods rate schedules were replaced from 22 September 2025, so check the current rate on CBIC’s GST rates page, or ask us.

What if two HSN codes seem to fit my product?

Do not pick one by guesswork. Ask a CA to check it. Our consultation is free.

HSN code kaise pata kare?

Upar finder mein product ka naam ya code type kijiye. Phir GST portal par Services > User Services > Search HSN Code mein wahi code check kijiye. Login ki zarurat nahi hai.

HSN code kitne digit ka hota hai?

Invoice par: pichhle financial year ka turnover ₹5 crore tak ho to 4 digit, ₹5 crore se zyada ho to 6 digit. Kuch listed chemical aur plastic goods par 8 digit. Tariff mein code 8 digit tak jata hai.
