HSN codes
Electronics is a trade of many small headings. The phone, its charger, the cable and the power bank are four different codes, and appliances are split by what they do: an AC, a fridge, a fan and a mixer are separate headings. These are the ones a phone or appliance counter bills most.

01 · Worth knowing
A charger (8504), a cable (8544), a power bank (8507) and earphones (8518) each have a heading of their own, separate from the phone’s 8517. A bill for a phone with its accessories carries more than one code, one per line.
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.
