## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 0203

It includes Fresh, chilled, or frozen swine meat

### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Fresh, chilled, or frozen swine meat?

If your outward supply of Fresh, chilled, or frozen swine meat is taxable, ITC is generally available (Sections 16–17) except blocked credits (e.g., personal use, motor vehicles in most cases). For exempt supplies, proportionate reversal is required under Rule 42/43.

### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Fresh, chilled, or frozen swine meat?

Prefer separate lines per item with its HSN so each component follows its own tax treatment. If it is a naturally bundled supply, identify the principal supply and tax the whole bundle accordingly.

### Do spares or accessories of Fresh, chilled, or frozen swine meat follow the same HSN?

Not always. Spares are often classified by their own description or by the function/part rule. Check if a specific sub‑heading exists for parts of the main item and describe the part on the invoice.

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Fresh, chilled, or frozen swine meat?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Fresh, chilled, or frozen swine meat is sold in small pouches (e.g., 500 g) with an MRP and label, record that on the invoice. Loose bulk bags often follow a different treatment.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Fresh, chilled, or frozen swine meat?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Fresh, chilled, or frozen swine meat are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.
