Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Code 04062000 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 4062000 ?

It includes Grated/powdered cheese

Are e‑way bill and e‑invoice required for Grated/powdered cheese?

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.

Does ‘pre‑packaged & labelled’ change GST on Grated/powdered cheese?

Yes. When Grated/powdered cheese 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.

Any import/export nuance for Grated/powdered cheese?

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

Is ITC allowed for costs used to trade Grated/powdered cheese?

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 Grated/powdered cheese is sold with exempt goods?

Use separate invoice lines per HSN. Apply TBD for Grated/powdered cheese and Nil for exempt lines. This avoids misclassification and wrong tax collection.
