What is an HSN code? HSN (Harmonised System of Nomenclature) is a numbering of goods used around the world. In India, GST uses it to name goods on invoices and returns. Services use SAC codes instead, which start with 99.

Does this finder tell me the GST rate? No. It shows the codes and descriptions from the GST portal’s list only. Rates depend on the item and the rate notifications in force, and they change; check the rate with your CA or on the official GST and CBIC websites.

How many digits should I print on my invoice? That depends on your turnover and the rules in force, so ask your CA. The list has codes of 2, 4, 6 and 8 digits; each longer code sits under the shorter one it starts with.

Where does the list come from? From the HSN and SAC list published on the GST portal (tutorial.gst.gov.in), taken on 17 October 2026. Codes and descriptions are shown as published, with headings in sentence case for easier reading.

Why do many codes say “Other”? In the list, “Other” means everything under that heading not named in the codes above it. The finder shows the headings each code sits under, so you can see what “Other” belongs to.

Can StoreSathi remember the HSN of each item? Yes. You set the HSN code and GST rate on each item once, and StoreSathi prints them on every bill, with the HSN summary at the bottom.
