HSN / SAC Finder
Type what you sell — “biscuit”, “cotton shirt”, “atta” — and get the code, the tariff’s own description, and where it sits in the schedule. The complete list of HSN codes for goods and SAC codes for services, not a shortlist. Everyday trade words are translated for you, because the tariff calls a laptop an “automatic data processing machine”.
| Code | Type | Description | GST |

| Type what you sell — all 23,271 codes are searchable. | |||
Descriptions are the tariff’s own, from the full HSN/SAC schedule. GST rates are not part of that schedule — the rates shown are a curated quick-reference for common codes and are indicative only; confirm yours on the official CBIC rate finder.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between HSN and SAC?
HSN (Harmonised System of Nomenclature) codes classify goods; SAC (Services Accounting Code) classify services. Both are required on GST invoices above the applicable turnover thresholds.
Is this the complete HSN list?
Yes — this searches the full schedule: every chapter, heading, sub-heading and 8-digit tariff item for goods, plus the SAC list for services. What it does not include is GST rates: those are notified separately from the tariff and revised by the GST Council, so confirm your rate on the official CBIC rate finder.
Why does my search return a code whose description is just “Other”?
A tariff description is written relative to the one above it, so thousands of codes read only “Other” — meaning “anything else in this family”. We show the parent’s words alongside, and every code has a page showing the full chain it hangs from.
The tariff does not use the word I typed. Will it still find it?
Usually. Everyday trade words are mapped to the tariff’s own vocabulary before searching — “atta” is searched as wheat flour, “laptop” as automatic data processing machines, “almirah” as metal cupboards — and the page tells you when it has rewritten your query.
How many HSN digits do I need on an invoice?
It depends on turnover: 4 digits for turnover up to ₹5 crore (B2B), and 6 digits above ₹5 crore. Exports use 8 digits.
