FAQs for Sub Chapter 0409

What products are classified under HSN 0409

It includes Natural honey

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Natural honey?

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.

Do spares or accessories of Natural honey 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.

What should my invoice and records include for Natural honey?

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.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Natural honey?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Natural honey is sold in small pouches (e.g., 500 g) with an MRP and label, record that on the invoice. Loose bulk bags often follow a different treatment.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Natural honey?

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