Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 0506 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 0506

It includes Animal byproducts

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Animal byproducts?

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.

What should my invoice and records include for Animal byproducts?

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.

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Animal byproducts?

If your outward supply of Animal byproducts 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.

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Animal byproducts?

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.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Animal byproducts?

Prefer separate lines per item with its HSN so each component follows its own tax treatment. If it is a naturally bundled supply, identify the principal supply and tax the whole bundle accordingly.

Any import/export nuance for Animal byproducts?

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.
