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. ### If I repair and return Fish & crustacean meals, how should I charge GST? Repair/service is a service supply (SAC). Parts and materials used are goods and may be billed separately with HSN. Mention both lines clearly to avoid mixing service and goods values. ### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Fish & crustacean meals? If your outward supply of Fish & crustacean meals 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. ### What misclassification mistakes happen with Fish & crustacean meals? Using a broad or incorrect HSN, ignoring material/form (e.g., raw vs processed), or mixing goods and services on one line. Always match wording to the HSN Notes and keep a classification working paper. ### How should I document Fish & crustacean meals sent for job work? Use a delivery challan for sending Fish & crustacean meals 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. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 0309 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
