Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Code 03074310 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 3074310 ?

It includes Frozen Cuttle Fish

How to bill mixed items when Frozen Cuttle Fish is sold with exempt goods?

Use separate invoice lines per HSN. Apply Varies for Frozen Cuttle Fish and Nil for exempt lines. This avoids misclassification and wrong tax collection.

Is ITC allowed for costs used to trade Frozen Cuttle Fish?

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.

Does ‘pre‑packaged & labelled’ change GST on Frozen Cuttle Fish?

Yes. When Frozen Cuttle Fish 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 Frozen Cuttle Fish?

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.

Any import/export nuance for Frozen Cuttle Fish?

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