Understanding HSN and SAC Codes
HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) and SAC (Services Accounting Code) are standardized classification systems used to categorize goods and services for taxation purposes. Developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO) and adopted by the Indian government for GST, these codes ensure uniformity in classification globally and locally.
Using the correct code is not just a best practice—it is a strict legal requirement for GST compliance in India. The correct code determines the applicable GST rate for a product or service, dictates e-invoicing rules, and is required for smooth customs clearance during import/export.
Mandatory Compliance Update
As per recent CBIC guidelines, it is mandatory for businesses with an aggregate annual turnover above ₹5 Crore to mention 6-digit HSN/SAC codes on all B2B and B2C invoices. Businesses below ₹5 Crore must mention 4-digit codes on B2B invoices.
