The Goods and Service Tax Network on 6th January 2022 has notified the launch of launched revamped & enhanced version of Search HSN on the GST portal. The ‘Search HSN’ functionality has been revamped by linking it with e-invoice database and Artificial Intelligence tools in the following ways:
- The Search HSN Code functionality has been enhanced, where the taxpayers can search the HSN code and the applicable Technical description through common parlance / trade description of the goods/ services as they are known in the Trade. It helps the taxpayers to search HSN Code by providing description/ part of a description.
- The facility is available at both pre-login and post login. Taxpayers/users can access the same by the following navigation:
Home>Services>User services>Search HSN Code
3.Taxpayer can search HSN/ Description using either of the two options which are provided as radio buttons: (i) HSN and (ii) Description; either of which can be selected as per the requirement.
4. In the search results, the taxpayer will be able to view the top three most commonly used trade descriptions of the said goods or services in the database along with their respective technical descriptions.
In case taxpayers are not able to find HSN of any goods or services, then they can raise a ticket on GST Self-Service Portal (https://selfservice.gstsystem.in). Further, taxpayers can also download the list of the entire list of HSN Codes along with their technical descriptions in excel format by clicking on link ‘Download HSN in Excel Format’.
