What products are classified under HSN 0508

It includes Coral, shells & cuttle-bone, powder

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Coral, shells & cuttle-bone, powder?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Coral, shells & cuttle-bone, powder 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.

What misclassification mistakes happen with Coral, shells & cuttle-bone, powder?

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.

If I repair and return Coral, shells & cuttle-bone, powder, 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.

How should I document Coral, shells & cuttle-bone, powder sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Coral, shells & cuttle-bone, powder 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.

What should my invoice and records include for Coral, shells & cuttle-bone, powder?

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.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Coral, shells & cuttle-bone, powder?

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.
