HSN code finder and checker with GST rates
Search all official HSN and SAC codes by code or words, see the GST rate of a goods or service code exactly as the CBIC notifications state it, check if a code has enough digits for your turnover, and clean up the HSN and GST % of the items you bill. Free, no login.
How to use the HSN code finder
- Check a code. Type an HSN or SAC code. You see its official description, chapter or SAC heading, and whether it has enough digits for your turnover.
- Set your turnover. Choose "Up to ₹5 crore" or "Above ₹5 crore" (last financial year). Tick "Bill to an unregistered buyer" for B2C bills.
- Find a code. Not sure of the code? Type words like "biscuit", "cotton" or "repair". The search looks through all official HSN and SAC codes and the rate entries; tap the code that fits.
- See the GST rate. Under the code you see every rate entry of the notifications for it: the rate, the description word for word, and the notification and S. No. When the entries give different rates, pick the one whose description fits your goods.
- Fix your items. The list at the bottom checks every item and service you saved. Type the right code or GST % and press Save.
What it does for you
- Every official code: all 21,935 HSN codes and 681 SAC codes with their official descriptions, from the HSN directory of the GST portal.
- Digits rule built in: at least 4 digits up to ₹5 crore turnover (may be left out on B2C bills), at least 6 above ₹5 crore, as set by Notification 78/2020-Central Tax.
- Catches wrong codes: a code of the wrong length, a chapter that does not exist, a service with a goods code or goods with a SAC.
- Checks your GST %: flags a rate that is not in use since 1 Feb 2026, or not among the notification rates for the code of the item. Type a code and the GST % fills in when there is only one rate; otherwise you choose.
- Rates and exemptions word for word: goods rates from Notifications 9/2025, 10/2025 and 14/2025-Central Tax (Rate), service rates from Notification 11/2017-Central Tax (Rate), and the services exempt from GST under Notification 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate), each with every amendment up to 1 Nov 2026, with its S. No. and the date we last checked.
- In your language: the screens work in 24 languages; HSN and SAC names stay in their official English.

Questions people ask
Is this HSN code finder free?
Yes. There is no login and no limit. It works in your browser.
Does it show the GST rate for my code?
Yes, for goods and services: every entry of the CBIC rate notifications that names the code (goods) or its SAC heading (services), word for word, with the notification and S. No. One code can have more than one rate (for example clothing up to or above ₹2,500 a piece, or a service at 5% without input tax credit or 18% with it), so pick the entry that fits. For a service you also see the exemptions of Notification 12/2017 that can make it nil, with their conditions and the meaning of the words they use.
How many HSN digits do I need on my invoice?
At least 4 digits if your turnover last year was up to ₹5 crore (they may be left out on bills to unregistered buyers), and at least 6 digits on every invoice above ₹5 crore, under Notification 78/2020-Central Tax.
What is the difference between HSN and SAC?
HSN codes classify goods; SAC codes classify services and always start with 99.
Can I fix the HSN of my saved items here?
Yes. The list at the bottom shows every saved item with its code and GST %. Type the right values and press Save; the next bill uses them.
