Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Code 06042000 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 6042000 ?

It includes Fresh plants

Any watch‑outs when classifying Fresh plants?

Use the exact HSN and form. Don’t charge GST on exempt fresh/chilled items; apply 5% only where pre‑packaged & labelled and not fresh/chilled.

Any quick example to understand GST on Fresh plants?

Example: Fresh/chilled produce in open packs is Nil. If it is not fresh/chilled and sold as pre‑packaged & labelled, 5% may apply.

Does e‑invoicing apply when I sell Fresh plants?

e‑Invoicing depends on turnover, not the item’s rate. If AATO exceeds the notified threshold (presently ₹5 crore), B2B invoices must be reported to the IRP unless you are a notified exempt person.

Do I need an e‑way bill while moving Fresh plants?

An e‑way bill may be required if the consignment value exceeds ₹50,000, subject to notified exemptions for agri/animal products.
