How to Use HSN Codes
On GST Invoices
Every GST tax invoice must include the HSN code for goods supplied. The number of digits required depends on your annual turnover — 4, 6, or 8 digits. The HSN code determines the applicable GST rate (CGST + SGST or IGST).
On Shipping Bills & Export
HSN codes are mandatory on all Shipping Bills filed on ICEGATE. An incorrect HSN can attract wrong duty rates, export restrictions, or delays at the port. Use the 8-digit code for all Shipping Bills regardless of turnover.
Digits Required by Turnover
Below ₹1.5 Crore: 4-digit HSN (Heading)
₹1.5–5 Crore: 6-digit HSN (Subheading)
Above ₹5 Crore: 8-digit HSN (Tariff line)
For export (Shipping Bills), always use the 8-digit code regardless of turnover.
₹1.5–5 Crore: 6-digit HSN (Subheading)
