What is an HSN code?

HSN (Harmonised System of Nomenclature) is the international system for classifying goods, maintained by the World Customs Organization. India uses 8-digit HSN codes in the Customs Tariff, and GST rates are notified against them:

Digits	Level	Example
2	Chapter	`84` Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances
4	Heading	`8471` Automatic data processing machines
6	Sub-heading	`8471 30` Portable automatic data processing machines
8	Tariff item	`8471 30 10` Personal computer

How many HSN digits on a GST invoice?

From 1 April 2021, under Notification 78/2020-Central Tax:

Aggregate annual turnover up to ₹5 crore: at least 4 digits on B2B tax invoices (optional on B2C invoices).
Turnover above ₹5 crore: 6 digits on all tax invoices.

The GST rate itself is decided by the notification entry the item falls under, which may be written at 2, 4, 6 or 8 digits — the BooksOn HSN app shows which entry applies and quotes it.

Questions

What is the full form of HSN code?

HSN stands for Harmonised System of Nomenclature, the international system for classifying goods. India uses it for customs and GST.

What is an HSN code?

HSN (Harmonised System of Nomenclature) is the international system for classifying goods, maintained by the World Customs Organization. India uses 8-digit HSN codes in the Customs Tariff: the first 2 digits are the chapter, 4 digits the heading, 6 digits the sub-heading and 8 digits the tariff item. GST rates are notified against these codes.

How many digits of HSN code must be shown on a GST invoice?

From 1 April 2021 (Notification 78/2020-Central Tax): a business with aggregate annual turnover up to ₹5 crore must show at least 4 digits on B2B tax invoices (optional on B2C invoices); a business with turnover above ₹5 crore must show 6 digits on all tax invoices.
