Hair oils, including perfumed coconut and herbal oils, are subheading 330590 and now pay 5%.

Sample GST invoice line for hair oil
Here is how a line for hair oil looks on a tax invoice within one state: 100 × bottle at Rs 120.00 each, taxed at 5%. The figures are an example, not a market price.
| Item | HSN | Qty | Rate (Rs) | Taxable (Rs) | CGST (Rs) | SGST (Rs) | Total (Rs) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hair Oil | 3305 | 100 × bottle | 120.00 | 12,000.00 | 300.00 | 300.00 | 12,600.00 |
Sold to a buyer in another state, the same line carries IGST of Rs 600.00 instead of CGST and SGST. Make the full invoice with the GST invoice format: it fills in the tax split, round off and amount in words.
