The Goods and Services Act of 2017 classifies goods and services into several categories depending upon their consumption, production, manufacture, etc. To eliminate the confusion and ensure seamless categorisation and classification of a variety of goods in each category, the GST council adopted the Harmonised System of Nomenclature Codes, also popularly known as HSN Codes.

 

HSN code is an eight-digit code that gives a unique numerical identifier allotted to every good and service registered under GST Act in India. There are about 99 chapters in HSN codes, which are further bifurcated into 21 sections and 2,144 sub-sections. Chapter 9 of the HSN code mentions GST on tea, coffee, and spices of every variety.
