HSN and SAC classification
Facts. Heading. Rate. Evidence.
Built for
Indian businesses and professionals
Best when
Technical and commercial facts are available
What is being
supplied in substance?
Marketing names rarely contain enough information for a defensible code.
Physical goods
Composition, function, process and presentation matter.
Services
Contract scope and actual deliverables guide SAC analysis.
Bundle or kit
Composite and mixed supply questions may sit above item codes.
Material ambiguity
Escalate significant uncertainty rather than manufacturing certainty.
HSN / SAC
Facts. Heading. Rate. Evidence.
A code finder cannot issue a binding tax answer.
Search is a starting point. Legal notes, notifications, supply facts and authority guidance determine the defensible position.
What you receive,
ready to use.
We classify from composition, function, use, packaging and supply—not from a product nickname—and document the reasoning behind the recommended HSN or SAC path.

What must be
in place.
The product or service is described beyond its marketing name.
Composition, function, packaging, process and end use are available where relevant.
The actual contract and supply bundle can be reviewed.
The business is willing to preserve and consistently apply the classification basis.
Technical specifications and actual contract terms are more useful than catalogue names alone.
Classify the real supply
Different evidence drives different branches.
| Decision | Goods / HSN | Services / SAC | Bundle |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core facts | Composition and function | Contract and deliverables | Principal and combined supply |
| Research | Tariff headings and notes | Service scheme and scope | Composite/mixed rules |
| Main risk | Wrong product identity | Vague invoice description | Wrong treatment of the whole |
