Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Code 03055400 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 3055400 ?

It includes Dried fish (excluding offal)

Any import/export nuance for Dried fish (excluding offal)?

Exports are zero‑rated. Imports may draw customs duties; domestic GST follows the schedule for the item’s form/packaging.

Does ‘pre‑packaged & labelled’ change GST on Dried fish (excluding offal)?

Yes. When Dried fish (excluding offal) is not fresh/chilled and is sold in pre‑packaged & labelled packs, GST is 5%. If it is not pre‑packaged & labelled, it stays Nil.

Are e‑way bill and e‑invoice required for Dried fish (excluding offal)?

e‑Way bill is needed for consignment value above ₹50,000 unless exempted. e‑Invoicing is turnover‑based (presently AATO > ₹5 crore) for B2B supplies.

How much GST applies to Dried fish (excluding offal)?

Under HSN 03055400, Dried fish (excluding offal) attracts Varies subject to its exact form and packaging. Use the correct HSN and describe the form clearly on the invoice.

Is ITC allowed for costs used to trade Dried fish (excluding offal)?

If your outward supply is taxable (e.g., 5% or 12%), eligible ITC is available subject to general restrictions. For exempt/Nil supplies, reverse credit per Rule 42.

How to bill mixed items when Dried fish (excluding offal) is sold with exempt goods?

Use separate invoice lines per HSN. Apply Varies for Dried fish (excluding offal) and Nil for exempt lines. This avoids misclassification and wrong tax collection.
