Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 0401 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 0401

It includes Unconcentrated milk & cream

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Unconcentrated milk & cream?

Generate an e‑way bill when the consignment value exceeds ₹50,000, unless exempted for the transaction. E‑invoicing depends on turnover (AATO threshold as notified) for B2B supplies, not on the item itself.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Unconcentrated milk & cream?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Unconcentrated milk & cream are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

How should I document Unconcentrated milk & cream sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Unconcentrated milk & cream 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.

If I repair and return Unconcentrated milk & cream, 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.

Any special steps when selling Unconcentrated milk & cream 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.
