The Goods and Services Tax (GST) levied by the government of India is an indirect tax against all the products and services manufactured, produced, or consumed in the country. All the products and services are categorised and then classified in an organised manner via Harmonised System of Nomenclature Codes, also popularly known as HSN codes.

 

HSN code is a numeric identity given to every product and service under the GST Act of India. HSN codes enable smooth and seamless trading and invoice generation because it is a globally accepted classification technique. The eight-digit HSN code allotted to products is the same in all countries, with no or minor changes in case of any variation in the product. There are about 99 chapters in the HSN codes, which are further bifurcated into 21 sections and 2,144 sub-sections. One can check Chapter 33 to find the GST on cosmetic products, perfumes, and toiletries.
