HSN codes
A garage invoice mixes goods and a service: the parts carry HSN codes, and the labour carries a SAC code for repair and maintenance. Even a tyre and its tube are separate headings. These are the ones a parts counter or workshop bills most.

What you need to know

01 · Worth knowing
Engine oil is a petroleum product (2710), brake fluid a heading of its own (3819), and an oil filter a machinery part (8421). The labour on the same invoice is a service, SAC 998714, so a single job card carries goods and a service side by side.
02 · On the bill
The code goes on each line of a GST tax invoice, beside the item. In BillCountr it is saved on the item and suggested from this list as you add it; it prints on bills from the Android app once the HSN field is switched on in your bill settings. Bills made on a computer do not print it yet.
How many digits a bill needs, and why one code can carry more than one rate: the rules for every code. A product not in this list: search HSN and SAC on the GST portal.
