FAQ

How many HSN digits do I need on my invoice?

Turnover < ₹5 Cr: 4 digits for B2B, optional for B2C. Turnover ≥ ₹5 Cr: 6 digits. Exporters: 8 digits always.

Where is the official HSN database?

cbic-gst.gov.in → "HSN Search" tool. Also available in your accounting software (Tally, Zoho Books, ClearTax) via integration.

Can the same product have different HSN codes?

Sometimes — based on use, packaging, or processing. E.g. raw rice (1006) vs packaged branded rice. Get a CA opinion if uncertain — wrong classification can mean penalty.
