HSN and SAC codes for dry fruits & nuts with the GST rate after GST 2.0 — last checked 29 October 2026.
GST on dry fruits & nuts after GST 2.0
Almonds, walnuts and pistachios (0802) and shelled cashew (0801 32) are 5% after GST 2.0. Dates, figs and raisins sit with fresh fruit in headings 0804 and 0806, where fresh fruit is nil-rated and the dried form is taxed.
Before you set the rate in your billing software, match the code to the item exactly: the first four digits name the heading, and the six- or eight-digit line decides the rate where a heading is split. When your supplier invoice shows a longer code, use that one.
Billing dry fruits & nuts correctly
- Print the HSN or SAC code on every line (4 digits up to ₹5 crore turnover, 6 digits above).
- Charge CGST + SGST inside your state and IGST for other states — the free GST invoice generator does this from the place of supply.
- For a price that includes GST, take the tax out by subtraction with the GST calculator.
- Check every B2B buyer's GST number with the GSTIN checker.
