About the hsn code finder
Find HSN codes for goods and SAC codes for services without opening a spreadsheet. This finder uses a snapshot of the GST portal’s HSN/SAC master, downloaded on 19 September 2026. It includes chapter-level entries and more detailed classifications, preserves leading zeros, and lets you filter by code type and length. Search results include the catalogue description so you can compare nearby classifications before selecting one.
Search by product, service or HSN code
A code search matches the beginning of a code: searching 0901 shows that heading and more detailed coffee-related entries. A description search matches all the words you enter. Start broadly, then add a distinguishing feature such as material, product form or the type of service. Formal catalogue descriptions may not use the same words as a shop or invoice.
HSN codes and SAC codes serve different purposes
HSN is used to classify goods. SAC classifies services and appears under chapter 99 in this catalogue. Choose Goods or Services to narrow the results. A software-related search can return both goods and services classifications; select based on what you actually supply, not simply the first result.
From a code lookup to a GST invoice
Choose Use in GST invoice beside a detailed result to open the invoice generator with that code on the first line. Add your own item description and the applicable GST rate, then complete the supplier, customer and place-of-supply details. You can search for further codes from inside the invoice editor without leaving your draft.
Catalogue coverage and current GST rates
This tool is a searchable catalogue snapshot, not a rate schedule. A code appearing in the source does not by itself confirm that it is current or applicable to a particular transaction. Five malformed source entries were excluded rather than guessing missing digits. The download does not provide tax rates, so no rates are inferred. Check the GST portal for the current classification and applicable rate.
Frequently asked questions
Can I find an HSN code by product name?
Yes. Enter a description such as coffee, cotton or machinery. All entered words must appear in a catalogue description. If there is no match, try fewer words or a more formal description of the goods.
Does this finder include SAC codes for services?
Yes. Select Services · SAC to search service descriptions, including consulting, licensing and construction. Read the complete description to identify the relevant service category.
Can I search 4, 6 and 8-digit HSN codes?
Yes. Filter by the number of digits or search a code prefix. Two-digit chapter entries are available for navigation but cannot be sent to the invoice generator as an invoice code.
Does the HSN code finder show GST rates?
No. The official master used here contains codes and descriptions, not a complete current tax-rate schedule. Confirm the applicable rate with the GST portal before adding it to an invoice.
Can I use a code in the GST invoice generator?
Yes. Choose Use in GST invoice to prefill the code on the first item of a new invoice. The invoice editor also includes the finder for subsequent items.
Are HSN searches saved or sent to a server?
