What products are classified under HSN 4051000 ?

It includes Butter

How to bill mixed items when Butter is sold with exempt goods?

Use separate invoice lines per HSN. Apply TBD for Butter and Nil for exempt lines. This avoids misclassification and wrong tax collection.

Is ITC allowed for costs used to trade Butter?

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 much GST applies to Butter?

Under HSN 04051000, Butter attracts TBD subject to its exact form and packaging. Use the correct HSN and describe the form clearly on the invoice.

Any import/export nuance for Butter?

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 Butter?

Yes. When Butter 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 Butter?

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.
