HSN code for shipping charges

Hi all, 

Sometimes my customers ask to me include shipping charges in the invoice itself. What HSN code should be used for this case?

Also what GST rate should apply for the same. I sell exempted products & rarely ship few 5% GST rate products too. 

Thanks in advance.

Summary: For shipping charges included in an invoice, use the GST rate of the product being sold (the principal supply). If you sell a 5% product, tax the shipping at 5%; if you sell an exempt product, the shipping is generally exempt. For accounting purposes, freight services are classified under SAC 9965.
