Most glass and glassware attracts 18% GST, though some specified items fall lower. The product type — flat glass, containers, or finished articles — determines the exact heading, so match it carefully in the table.

What is the GST rate on glassware?
Most glassware and glass articles are taxed at 18%. Confirm the exact figure from the table, as a few specified items differ.
Which HSN code applies to glass bottles?
Glass bottles, jars and containers fall under heading 7010. Select the sub-heading that matches your container type.
How many digits of the HSN code do I need to put on my invoice?
It depends on your aggregate annual turnover. Businesses with turnover up to ₹5 crore must quote at least a 4-digit HSN code (a 2-digit code is allowed for B2C supplies below the threshold), while those above ₹5 crore must quote a 6-digit code. Many businesses use the full 8-digit code to be safe. SAC codes for services follow the same digit logic.
