Exports are zero‑rated. Imports may draw customs duties; domestic GST follows the schedule for the item’s form/packaging.
Use separate invoice lines per HSN. Apply TBD for Insects/ Other and Nil for exempt lines. This avoids misclassification and wrong tax collection.
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.
Yes. When Insects/ Other 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.
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.
