HSN SAC Code Search

The rationale of HSN/SAC codes is to make GST systematic and globally accepted. HSN/SAC codes eliminate the need to upload a detailed description of the goods/services. It saves time and makes filing easier since GST returns are mostly automated. A dealer or a service provider must provide HSN/SAC wise summary of sales in his GSTR-1 if his turnover falls in above slabs.

The World Customs Organization (WCO) have conceived and developed the HSN codes in order to classify goods from all over the world in a systematic way. It’s adopted in over 200 countries, and it covers around 98% of all goods produced and traded in, under its ambit. India has been a member of the World Customs Organization (WCO) since 1971. It originally used 6-digit HSN codes to classify commodities for Customs and Central Excise. Later, Customs and Central Excise added two more digits to make the codes more precise, resulting in an 8 digit classification.
