What is a Product HSN Code?

Every product traded in India (and globally) has a HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) code—a standardized system for identifying goods during tax filing and international trade.

What is an HSN Code?

HSN codes are numeric classifications developed by the World Customs Organization. In India, they’re used under GST (Goods and Services Tax) for identifying goods and determining applicable tax rates.

For example:

• A ceiling fan may have the HSN code 8414

• A T-shirt might have 6109

Why HSN Codes Matter:

• Ensure correct GST filing

• Avoid penalties for incorrect tax rates

• Simplify trade through global consistency

HSN Code Format in India:

• 4 digits for goods under turnover

• 6–8 digits for international trade

Whether you’re a manufacturer, wholesaler, or eCommerce seller, using the correct HSN code is critical for compliance. Gxpress ensures your product shipments are aligned with accurate HSN codes to avoid customs or GST-related delays.
