  2. Classify under HSN/SAC using tariff rules and facts.
  3. Test exemption first where relevant.
  4. Match the complete rate serial and conditions.
  5. Test RCM/ECO/cess/HSNS and State counterpart.
  6. Save the source chain in the evidence file.

Q&A

Why can the same HSN return multiple candidates?
Because GST notifications often distinguish by description, packaging, use, value or exclusions. Multiple candidates are safer than a false single answer.

Does an HSN finder determine classification?
No. It narrows candidates; Customs Tariff notes and product facts control classification.
