HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) is an internationally standardised system of codes used to classify goods. Under GST in India, HSN codes are used on invoices and returns to identify the product and apply the correct tax rate.

What is the difference between HSN and SAC codes?

HSN codes classify goods (physical products), while SAC (Services Accounting Code) classifies services. This finder searches both — results are tagged as HSN or SAC.

How many digits should an HSN code have?

It depends on turnover. Businesses with turnover up to ₹5 crore generally use 4-digit HSN codes, and those above ₹5 crore use 6-digit codes. Imports and exports use 8-digit codes. Always confirm the digit requirement applicable to your business.

How do I verify or check an HSN code?

Type the HSN code (or part of it) into the search box and confirm the description that appears matches your product or service. Cross-checking a code against its official description is the simplest way to verify you are using the correct HSN/SAC code before issuing a GST invoice.

What are HSN and SAC codes?

HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) codes are used to classify goods under GST, while SAC (Services Accounting Code) codes classify services. Putting the correct code on your invoices and GST returns ensures the right tax rate is applied and keeps you compliant.

The number of digits you need depends on your turnover — typically 4 digits up to ₹5 crore and 6 digits above it, with 8 digits for imports and exports. Use the finder above to search the official HSN/SAC list by keyword or code.

You can also use it to verify or check an HSN code you already have — just search the number and confirm the description matches your product before adding it to a GST invoice or return.

Tip

Inside KhataBuddy, the right HSN/SAC code and GST rate are suggested automatically as you add items — so you never have to look them up manually again.
