Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 0301 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 0301

It includes Live fish

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Live fish?

Some entries use MRP/weight‑based conditions for classification. Keep pack size, retail marking and brand status on records and invoice to support the chosen HSN.

What should my invoice and records include for Live fish?

Include HSN, exact description, pack size/grade, quantity, and if pre‑packaged & labelled. Maintain purchase specs, test reports (where relevant), and job‑work challans for audit trail.

Any import/export nuance for Live fish?

Exports are zero‑rated (with or without payment of IGST) subject to LUT/refund conditions. Imports may attract customs duties in addition to GST. Keep HSN‑wise description consistent across invoice, shipping bill and BOE.

How should I document Live fish sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Live fish to the job worker. Declare movement in your records and reconcile when the goods return. If the job worker raises a service invoice, classify it under SAC; your goods remain under the original HSN.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Live fish?

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.
