Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 0302 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 0302

It includes Fish fillets & meat

How are warranty replacements of Fish fillets & meat handled?

If replacement is without consideration under a pre‑agreed warranty, issue a delivery challan and reference the original invoice/contract. If consideration is charged, raise a tax invoice. Keep serial/lot details for traceability.

Do spares or accessories of Fish fillets & 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.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Fish fillets & meat?

The composition scheme is optional for eligible small suppliers of goods. You cannot issue tax invoices or collect tax under composition. Check turnover limits and exclusions; evaluate margins and ITC loss before opting in.

Any import/export nuance for Fish fillets & meat?

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.

Any special steps when selling Fish fillets & meat through an e‑commerce platform?

Ensure registration requirements are met and reconcile the operator’s TCS statements with your GSTR‑2B/3B. Map SKU descriptions to HSN to reduce mismatches and returns.
