Clear answers to common queries about HSN Code 29181400 and GST compliance.
It includes Citric acid
Under HSN 29181400, Citric acid attracts Varies when sold in taxable form. Describe the exact form on the invoice.
If your outward supply is taxable, eligible ITC is available subject to general restrictions. For exempt/Nil supplies, reverse credit per Rule 42.
Use separate invoice lines per HSN and apply the correct rate per line (e.g., Varies for Citric acid; Nil for exempt items if applicable).
Use the exact HSN and describe the form/grade. For multi‑line invoices, apply the rate per line to avoid wrong tax collection.
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.
