Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 0604 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 0604

It includes Plant foliage for ornamental purposes

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Plant foliage for ornamental purposes?

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

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Plant foliage for ornamental purposes?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Plant foliage for ornamental purposes 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.

How should I document Plant foliage for ornamental purposes sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Plant foliage for ornamental purposes 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.

Any special steps when selling Plant foliage for ornamental purposes 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.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Plant foliage for ornamental purposes?

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.
