Classification research

HSN and SAC code finder

Search a product, service or code prefix. Results are leads for classification research, not a binding classification or tax-rate determination.

Educational use only. Verify the code, description, applicable date and tax treatment on the official GST HSN/SAC search. This tool does not display unverified tax rates.

No request yet. Search sends the query to an independent public lookup service.

Match the description, not just a familiar word

HSN classifies goods, while SAC is used for service classifications in the GST system. A broad keyword can return several related headings and more detailed entries. A match does not establish that every product containing that word belongs under one code.

Read the exact product characteristics, composition, intended use and relevant classification notes. Different processing, packaging or supply arrangements may require a different analysis. Keep the supporting description with the code rather than copying an isolated number onto an invoice.

Understand broad and detailed entries

Goods codes can describe chapters, headings and more detailed subdivisions. A four-digit heading may be broader than a six- or eight-digit entry returned by the same search. The code length alone does not tell you which reporting requirement applies to your business.

The table keeps the available code and description together. It does not make a universal digit-count rule for every turnover, document type or transaction. Check the current official requirements for the actual supply and reporting task.

Classification and tax rate are separate checks

A code is not enough to establish the applicable GST rate. Notifications, exemptions, conditions and effective dates can change treatment. The third-party search response may contain rate fields, but this page deliberately does not present them as verified rates.

Once you have independently verified an applicable rate, use the GST calculator to calculate the arithmetic of adding or extracting tax. That calculation cannot validate the chosen classification or determine legal liability.

Data source and unavailable searches

Searches go directly from your browser to the independent AmoghaCloud GST lookup hosted on Vercel. That provider receives the search query and normal connection information. It is not the official GST portal, and its data coverage or availability may change.

If the request fails or no match is found, the tool reports that outcome. It does not replace missing results with demo codes or a guessed classification. Use the official search and qualified advice where needed.
