What products are classified under HSN 49029010 ?

An e‑way bill may be required if the consignment value exceeds ₹50,000, subject to notified exemptions for such goods.

No. ITC attributable to exempt/Nil supplies is not available. If you also make taxable supplies, apportion and reverse credit under Rule 42.
