Search HSN/SAC codes and GST rates by product or category.
About this list
This covers the HSN and SAC headings that come up most often — it is not the full CBIC database of roughly 21,000 codes, and results only go down to the 4-digit heading level rather than the precise 6–8 digit code your invoice may need. Codes shown are always 4 digits or more — matching the minimum the GST portal's own search works at — so bare 2-digit chapter numbers aren't shown as if they were a usable code.
Example
Typing "computer" into the search box above surfaces heading 8471 — automatic data processing machines — the goods heading computers and laptops are classified under.
Confirm the exact digit-level code on the GST portal
- Go to the GST portal's HSN/SAC search page using the button below.
- Pick the "HSN Code" tab for goods, or "Services" for SAC.
- Search by the description you found here, or by the code itself, to see the precise 6–8 digit code and its GST rate.
- Check how many digits you're required to declare — it depends on your aggregate annual turnover (4, 6 or 8 digits).
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between HSN and SAC codes?
HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) codes classify goods, and SAC (Services Accounting Code) codes classify services. Both are used the same way on a GST invoice — to identify what's being sold and, from that, which GST rate applies.
I searched for my product and it didn't show up — why?
This tool covers the HSN/SAC headings people search for most often, not the full CBIC database of roughly 21,000 codes. Use the "Open GST portal" link above to search the complete official list for anything not covered here.
How many digits of the HSN/SAC code do I actually need?
This tool shows codes down to the 4-digit heading level. The exact number of digits required on your invoice depends on your aggregate annual turnover — confirm the applicable digit requirement (4, 6, or 8) on the GST portal, since it's tied to notified turnover thresholds that can change.
