Download HSN code for GST Registration

by

Registration of suppliers on the GST Network is one of the important tasks for the professionals nowadays. Along with all other basic information to be collected, scanning of documents and filling the application forms, many of us would get stuck while choosing the right HSN code for the top 5 commodities dealt with by the supplier.

For any particular commodity we have to provide HSN code up to only 4 digits. Therefore a list of Chapters upto 4 digits can be used to find out applicable chapter head. In case of confusion, a detailed list containing codes up to 8 digits can be used, if required.

Following is the information regarding HSN Code for general understanding.

ITC-HS Codes or better known as Indian Trade Clarification based on Harmonized System of Coding was adopted in India for import-export operations.

Indian custom uses an eight digit ITC-HS Codes to suit the national trade requirements.
