Clear answers to common queries about HSN Code 29163110 and GST compliance.
It includes Benzoic Acid
Use the exact HSN and describe the form/grade. For multi‑line invoices, apply the rate per line to avoid wrong tax collection.
Use separate invoice lines per HSN and apply the correct rate per line (e.g., Varies for Benzoic Acid; Nil for exempt items if applicable).
If your outward supply is taxable, eligible ITC is available subject to general restrictions. For exempt/Nil supplies, reverse credit per Rule 42.
Under HSN 29163110, Benzoic Acid attracts Varies when sold in taxable form. Describe the exact form on the invoice.
e‑Way bill is needed above ₹50,000 consignment value (subject to exemptions). e‑Invoicing is turnover‑based (presently AATO > ₹5 crore) for B2B supplies.
For food/agri items, GST can be 5% when not fresh/chilled and sold as pre‑packaged & labelled; otherwise often Nil. For non‑food items, rates depend on the specific sub‑heading.
