Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the HSN code and GST rate for Food.
There is no single HS code for food because food products are classified based on their type and ingredients. For example, cereals, dairy products, fruits, vegetables, beverages, snacks, and packaged foods are covered under different HSN chapters. The correct Food HSN Code depends on the product's composition and intended use.
