Shampoo falls under HSN 3305, in chapter 33 (Perfumes and cosmetics).
Shampoo is subheading 330510. GST 2.0 cut shampoo and hair oil from 18% to 5%, while the other hair preparations of heading 3305, such as straightening creams, hair sprays and hair dyes, are not part of that cut. Medicated shampoos sold as cosmetics stay in 3305.

The number of digits depends on your aggregate turnover in the previous financial year.
| Turnover last year | Digits | Write |
|---|---|---|
| Up to Rs 5 crore | 4 on B2B invoices, optional on B2C | 3305 |
| Above Rs 5 crore | 6 on every invoice | 330510, 330520, 330530 |

Here is how a line for shampoo looks on a tax invoice within one state: 100 × bottle at Rs 180.00 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shampoo | 3305 | 100 × bottle | 180.00 | 18,000.00 | 450.00 | 450.00 | 18,900.00 |
Sold to a buyer in another state, the same line carries IGST of Rs 900.00 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.
Chapter 33 (Perfumes and cosmetics) covers: Essential oils, perfumes, make up, hair care, oral care and other toilet preparations.
