The Kirana Store HSN code (Harmonized System Nomenclature) is an internationally recognized system for categorizing items. It’s used during import and export to ensure items are recognized consistently worldwide.
The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) is planning to make it mandatory to include the HSN code digits in GSTR1 filings. Previously, there was an exemption for small taxpayers, but this is changing. So, it’s important to find the HSN code for your items because in the future, you won’t be able to file your GSTR 1 without it.
How to find HSN of an item-
To find the HSN of an item, you can refer to Schedule I of the Customs Tariff Act, which has a comprehensive list of HSN codes. However, this list is descriptive, and there are six rules to follow to get the correct classification of items.
GST HSN Code List for Kirana, Grocery, General Store
For Kirana, Grocery, and General stores, there is a specific GST HSN code list drafted by CA Sudhir Halakhandi, who is a well-known consultant in the area of GST. You can download a PDF to get all HSN codes for these types of stores.
I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
