Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Code 03056300 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 3056300 ?

It includes Salted Anchovies (Excluding Fresh or Chilled)

How should I show Salted Anchovies (Excluding Fresh or Chilled) on the invoice?

Use the correct HSN and mention the form (fresh/chilled vs frozen/dried) and whether it’s pre‑packaged & labelled.

Does e‑invoicing apply for Salted Anchovies (Excluding Fresh or Chilled)?

e‑Invoicing depends on turnover, not the item rate. If AATO exceeds the notified threshold (presently ₹5 crore), B2B invoices must be reported to IRP unless you are a notified exempt person.

Any typical mistake to avoid with Salted Anchovies (Excluding Fresh or Chilled)?

Don’t charge GST on exempt fresh/chilled items. Only non‑fresh/chilled, pre‑packaged & labelled packs draw 5%.

Do I need an e‑way bill when moving Salted Anchovies (Excluding Fresh or Chilled)?

e‑Way bill may be required if the consignment value exceeds ₹50,000, subject to notified exemptions. Check your state’s list for agri/animal goods.
