HSN and GST Rate Finder
Search a small set of common ecommerce HSN codes and their typical GST slab.
These are illustrative examples for common ecommerce categories, not a complete or authoritative HSN directory. GST rates are set by CBIC notification and change periodically - always verify the current rate for your exact HSN code with your CA or the official GST rate finder before filing.

Why this list is short on purpose
There are thousands of HSN codes and the official schedule changes periodically. Rather than guess at codes we're not confident about, this covers common ecommerce categories only - always confirm the exact rate for your product with your CA or the official GST portal before filing.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a complete, official HSN code directory?
No. The GST schedule covers thousands of HSN/SAC codes across all industries and is revised periodically by notification. This list deliberately covers only common ecommerce product categories, so it can stay accurate - a short, trustworthy list beats a long, stale one.
Can I file my GST return using the rate shown here?
Use it as a starting point to narrow down the right code, not as the final answer. Confirm the exact HSN code and applicable rate for your specific product with your CA or on the official GST portal (services.gst.gov.in) before filing - product variants within the same category can carry different rates.
Why do some products show more than one possible rate?
GST rates for the same broad product category can differ by material, price point, or end-use (for example, footwear and apparel have price-based rate slabs). Where that applies, the note column flags it - always check your product's specific classification.
Where do these HSN codes and rates come from?
They reflect commonly-cited rates for popular ecommerce categories as of the last update shown on the page. GST rates and HSN mappings do change via government notification, so treat this as a quick reference, not a live feed from the GST portal.
I sell on Amazon/Flipkart/Meesho - do I set this HSN code myself?
Yes. Marketplaces ask you to enter the HSN code and GST rate per listing at the time of catalog upload; they don't assign it for you. Getting it wrong can lead to incorrect tax collection on your behalf, which shows up as a mismatch during return filing.
