Creating HSN or SAC Codes for India GST

Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) and Services Accounting Codes (SAC) codes are used to classify different goods and services. In NetSuite, these codes decide which GST applies to each line item in a transaction.

Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) – Under India GST, an HSN code classifies goods in a transaction and sets the tax rates for those goods.

Services Accounting Codes (SAC) – SAC is based on HSN, which is an internationally recognized system for classifying products. A SAC code classifies services under GST and sets their tax rates.
