HSN Code

In One Line

The standardized code that classifies exactly what product you're selling — required on invoices and marketplace listings to determine the correct GST rate.

HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) codes come from an international classification system, adapted for GST rate determination in India. Getting the code wrong on a marketplace listing is a common cause of incorrect tax collection and listing rejections — it's worth confirming the exact code for each product category rather than guessing from a similar one.
