Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 0802 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 0802

It includes Nuts and seeds

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Nuts and seeds?

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.

Any import/export nuance for Nuts and seeds?

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.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Nuts and seeds?

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

What should my invoice and records include for Nuts and seeds?

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.

Any special steps when selling Nuts and seeds 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.
