Clear answers to common queries about HSN Code 17031000 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 17031000 ?

It includes Cane molasses

How should mixed supplies be billed when Cane molasses is sold with other items?

Use separate invoice lines per HSN and apply the correct rate per line (e.g., Varies for Cane molasses; Nil for exempt items if applicable).

Does packaging or labelling change the GST for Cane molasses?

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.

Do e‑way bill and e‑invoice apply for Cane molasses?
