Freight services hsn code

For freight charges, the HSN (Harmonized System Nomenclature) code typically refers to the code used for the transportation service of goods. However, in the context of GST in India, freight services are classified under Service Accounting Codes (SAC) rather than HSN codes. Here are the relevant SAC codes for different types of freight services:

9965: Services in the category of goods transport services, which include:

996511: Road transport services of freight by road (excluding goods transport agency services)

996512: Services of goods transport agency (GTA) for road transport of goods

996513: Rail transport services of goods

996514: Transport services of goods by pipeline and other non-road means

996521: Transport services of goods by sea

996522: Transport services of goods by inland waterways

996531: Air transport services of goods

For freight services, these SAC codes are used instead of HSN codes to classify the services for GST purposes.
