HSN CODE FINDER

Apna product type karein (laptop, cotton shirt, rice) ya seedha HSN/SAC code (8471, 8517, 6109).

Type karke search karein
Rate ke baare me zaroori baat: yahan jo IGST/CGST/SGST rate dikhta hai wo CBIC tariff notifications ke ek compiled dataset se aata hai. Ye indicative hai — apne specific product ka rate invoice karne se pehle official GST portal par confirm kar lein. Kuch codes me source data ki description repeat ho chuki hai, wo mark se dikhate hain.

HSN CODE KAISE NIKAALEIN — POORA GUIDE

HSN code har us product ka ek number hota hai jo India me customs aur GST dono dekhta hai. Agar aap shop chala rahe ho, Amazon ya Flipkart par bechte ho, invoice banate ho ya koi import karte ho, to invoice par sahi HSN likhna zaroori hai. Galat code ka matlab hai galat tax rate, aur GST return me mismatch aane par notice mil sakta hai.

HSN code kitne digits ka hota hai?

Tariff ko chaar levels me rakha gaya hai, aur har level ka kaam alag hai:

  • 2 digit — Chapter: sabse bada group. Jaise chapter 84 "Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery".
  • 4 digit — Heading: chapter ke andar ka group. Jaise 8471 "automatic data processing machines".
  • 6 digit — Sub-heading: thoda aur specific. Jaise 847130 "portable machines weighing not more than 10 kg".
  • 8 digit — Tariff line: wo exact line jise aap invoice par likhte ho. Jaise 84711000.

GST registration me aapko 4 ya 6 digit code chahiye hota hai, lekin invoice aur e-way bill par 8 digit code likha jata hai. Isliye sabse safe tarika: 4 digit heading se shuru karke uske andar ka sahi 8 digit code chuniye.

Search karne ka sahi tareeka

Sabse badi galti log brand name search kar dete hain — "Samsung" ya "Nike". Ye kaam nahi karta, kyunki tariff me brand nahi, product ka type aur material hota hai. Sahi tareeka:

  1. Pehle sirf product type likhiye — "watch", "shoe", "chair".
  2. Phir material jod dijiye — "steel watch", "leather shoe", "wooden chair".
  3. Phir kaam jod dijiye — "steel wrist watch".
  4. Jo code sabse zyada match kare, uske sub-codes dekhiye aur apne product se sabse close wali line chuniye.

Isliye is tool me aap seedha "laptop" type kar sakte ho — wo turant chapter 84 ka laptop wala hissa dikha deta hai, chahe tariff me likha ho "automatic data processing machine".

IGST, CGST aur SGST me kya fark hai?

Ye teen ek hi rate ke do roop hain. GST slab ek hi hota hai, bas ye decide karta hai ki paisa kahan jaayega:

  • CGST + SGST — jab buyer aur seller same state me ho. Total mila ke wahi slab hota hai (jaise 18% = 9% + 9%).
  • IGST — jab buyer aur seller alag state me ho. Ye poora slab hota hai aur Centre ko jaata hai.

Isliye agar aapka rate 18% hai, to same-state invoice par 9% CGST + 9% SGST likhoge, aur doosre state ko bhejne par 18% IGST. Total tax dono cases me same rehta hai.

SAC code kya hota hai?

Jab aap koi service bechte ho — consultancy, repair, software development, freight, advertising — to HSN ki jagah SAC code lagta hai. Ye 6 digit ka hota hai aur chapter 99 me aata hai. Ek important baat: service codes par CBIC ka master list koi fix GST rate nahi deta, kyunki service ka rate notification aur aapke contract ki shartein decide karti hain. Isliye is tool par SAC search karne par rate nahi dikhaya jaata — wo jaan-boojh kar chhoda gaya hai taaki aap galat rate na lagayein.

Is tool ki data limits — dhyan se padhein

Seedha baat: ye tool aapko code dhoondhne me bahut madad karta hai, lekin aapki GST filing ka aakhri faisla yahin nahi hona chahiye. Jaan-bujhkar bataye jaate hain ki:

  • Rate verify karein. Rate ek compiled dataset se hai, live notification se nahi. Notification change ho to yahan turant reflect na ho.
  • 131 codes me description repeat hui hai (upstream scraping artefact). Wo codes mark ke saath dikhte hain.
  • SAC rate nahi dikhaya jaata — sahi nahi hoga, isliye nahi dikhaya.
  • Kuch 4 digit headings ki apni row nahi hai. Aise heading par tool uske asal sub-codes dikhata hai, taaki aapko complete list mile.
  • Composition scheme aur reverse charge jaise cases me rate alag chalti hai — wo sirf aapki CA decide kar sakta hai.

Invoice se pehle ek baar GST portal par apna code confirm kar lena hamesha behtar rehta hai.

HSN CODE FINDER — SAWAAL JAWAAB

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Type what you sell in plain words. This tool searches both the official tariff descriptions and a curated list of the product words people actually type, so "laptop" lands on chapter 84 instead of returning nothing. If you already know the code, type the digits instead and you get the exact row plus every sub-code beneath it.

HSN stands for Harmonised System of Nomenclature and covers goods you physically ship, whether you manufacture them or resell them. SAC stands for Services Accounting Code and covers everything you sell as a service, such as consulting, repair, software or freight. The switch at the top of this page filters between the two.

No, and this matters if you are filing a return. The rates come from a compilation of the published CBIC tariff and rate notifications, and the data carries known gaps and a small number of duplicated descriptions that we flag on screen. Use it to narrow down a code and get an idea of the slab, then confirm the rate for your specific product on the official GST portal before you invoice or file.

The upstream dataset repeats one tariff description across several sibling codes in a few places, which is a scraping artefact rather than a real tariff line. Where that happens we mark the row so you know to cross-check the wording on the GST portal. It affects about 190 of the 19,000 codes, and the rate shown on those rows should be verified.

It depends on what you are doing. GST registration asks for a four or six digit code. Invoices for goods normally carry the full eight digit code, which is the most specific level in the tariff. This tool accepts any length from two to eight digits and always shows the level you are looking at, so you can work down from a broad chapter to the exact line.

Some four digit headings are groupings rather than tradeable lines, and the published dataset does not carry a separate row for them. When that happens this tool shows the heading together with the real sub-codes underneath it, so you still get the complete list of specific codes that fall under it.

Yes. Switch the filter to Services and search a term like construction, consultancy or freight. Note that the published SAC master does not attach a fixed GST rate to service codes, because the rate for a service depends on the specific notification and the terms of the contract, so this tool deliberately does not invent one.

It is completely free, requires no sign-up, and there is no limit on how many codes you look up. All the data is served from our own server so your searches are fast and nothing is tracked or sold.

Look up the heading and then open one of its eight digit sub-codes. GST rates in India are set at the tariff line level, not the heading level, so two items inside the same four digit heading can sit in different slabs. The detail panel shows the sub-codes with their individual rates so you can pick the right one.

Try the plain category word first, like footwear, jewellery or furniture, then narrow by adding a material or type such as gold or wooden. If a word returns nothing, the closest tariff wording is usually a general noun, so searching seat instead of sofa works better than searching a brand name.
