Use separate invoice lines per HSN and apply the correct rate per line (e.g., Varies for Cuttlefish Bones; Nil for exempt items if applicable).
For many agri/food items, GST applies at 5% when they are not fresh/chilled and are sold as pre‑packaged & labelled. Loose or fresh/chilled forms may be Nil.
Under HSN 05080040, Cuttlefish Bones attracts Varies when sold in taxable form. Describe the form and packaging clearly on the invoice.
Generate an e‑way bill if the consignment value exceeds ₹50,000 (subject to exemptions). e‑Invoicing is turnover‑based (presently AATO > ₹5 crore) for B2B supplies.
Use the exact HSN and the correct form (fresh/chilled vs. frozen/dried; PPL vs. not). Apply the rate per line to avoid wrong tax collection.
