HSN Code Structure Explained

How HSN Codes Are Structured in India

India uses an 8-digit HSN code system for goods and a 6-digit SAC code system for services. Each digit level narrows down the product category. Understanding this hierarchy helps you pick the right code every time.

HSN Code Digit Levels

The HSN system is organized in 4 levels. Each level adds more detail to the product classification.

Digits Level Example Code Example Meaning
2 digits Chapter 62 Articles of apparel
4 digits Heading 6204 Women's or girls' suits, jackets, dresses
6 digits Sub-heading 620412 Women's suits - of cotton
8 digits Tariff Item 62041210 Women's suits, cotton - embroidered Lucknow chikan craft

When Do You Need an HSN Code?

The Govt. mandates HSN codes on GST invoices based on your annual turnover.

Annual Turnover Required HSN Digits on Invoice
Below Rs. 1.5 Crore Not mandatory (optional)
Rs. 1.5 Crore to Rs. 5 Crore 2-digit HSN code required
Above Rs. 5 Crore 4-digit HSN code required
Imports and Exports 8-digit HSN code mandatory

SAC codes are used for all services. This HSN code finder supports both HSN (goods) and SAC (services) code search in a single interface.

Disclaimer: HSN and SAC code data is sourced from the official GST portal (services.gst.gov.in) published by CBIC, Government of India. This HSN code finder is for reference only. For classification disputes or export/import filings, always verify with a qualified Customs or GST professional. Code descriptions are from the official master file and may not reflect recent amendments.

Why Use Our Free HSN Code Finder?

This HSN code search tool is built for Indian GST filers, accountants, and business owners. Get the right classification code in seconds - with full context, no guesswork.

Search by Name or Code

You can search by a product description like 'textile' or 'software', or by a partial or full code like '62' or '9973'. This HSN code finder matches both the code and the description at the same time. This makes it work for anyone - whether you know the code or just the product name.

Full Hierarchy Context

Every result shows its full parent chain. A Tariff Item code shows its Chapter, Heading, and Sub-heading above it. This prevents misclassification. You can see at a glance if the code belongs to the right product category before you copy it.

Smart Description Composition

Many official HSN descriptions are vague on their own. A code like 620412 only says 'of cotton', which tells you nothing. This HSN code finder automatically builds a full readable description by combining parent context. You see 'Women's or girls' suits, jackets - of cotton' instead of just 'of cotton'.

Instant Search with Highlighted Matches

Results appear as you type - no button click needed. Your search terms are highlighted in both the code and the description. This makes scanning a long list of results fast. You spot the right code in seconds even when the list is long.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about HSN code search and GST classification.

What is an HSN code?

Down Arrow
HSN stands for Harmonised System of Nomenclature. It is an internationally recognized system used to classify goods. In India, HSN codes are used under GST to classify products on invoices and returns. The first 2 digits identify the Chapter, the next 2 identify the Heading, and further digits narrow down to sub-headings and specific tariff items.

How do I find the HSN code for my product?

Down Arrow
Use the search box in this HSN code finder. Type a keyword that describes your product, such as 'mobile phone', 'cotton fabric', or 'software'. The tool instantly searches over 20,000 codes and shows matching results with full descriptions. You can also type a partial code if you know the first few digits.

What is the difference between HSN and SAC codes?

Down Arrow
HSN codes are used to classify goods (physical products). SAC codes (Services Accounting Code) are used to classify services. Both are required on GST invoices and returns. This tool searches both HSN and SAC codes together. Each result is clearly labeled so you know which type it is.

How many digits does an HSN code have?

Down Arrow
Indian HSN codes can have 2, 4, 6, or 8 digits. The 2-digit code is the broadest Chapter level. The 4-digit code is a Heading. The 6-digit code is a Sub-heading. The 8-digit code is the most specific Tariff Item level. For imports and exports, the full 8-digit code is mandatory. For domestic GST invoices, 2 to 4 digits are typically required based on your turnover.

Is the HSN code mandatory on GST invoices?

Down Arrow
It depends on your annual turnover. Businesses with turnover below Rs. 1.5 crore are not required to mention HSN codes. Businesses between Rs. 1.5 crore and Rs. 5 crore must use 2-digit codes. Businesses above Rs. 5 crore must use 4-digit codes. For import and export, 8-digit codes are mandatory.

What is a Chapter in an HSN code?

Down Arrow
A Chapter is the broadest level in the HSN hierarchy. It uses only the first 2 digits of the HSN code. There are 99 chapters in the HSN system. For example, Chapter 62 covers all articles of apparel that are not knitted or crocheted. Every HSN code belongs to one of these 99 chapters.

Is this HSN code search tool free?
