Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 0408 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 0408

It includes Birds’ eggs, fresh/dried, preserved

What misclassification mistakes happen with Birds’ eggs, fresh/dried, preserved?

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.

Any import/export nuance for Birds’ eggs, fresh/dried, preserved?

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 are warranty replacements of Birds’ eggs, fresh/dried, preserved 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.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Birds’ eggs, fresh/dried, preserved?

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 Birds’ eggs, fresh/dried, preserved?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Birds’ eggs, fresh/dried, preserved are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.
