## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 0811

It includes Prepared fruits & nuts

### What misclassification mistakes happen with Prepared fruits & nuts?

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.

### How should I document Prepared fruits & nuts sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Prepared fruits & nuts 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 Prepared fruits & nuts 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.

### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Prepared fruits & nuts?

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.

### Do spares or accessories of Prepared fruits & nuts 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.
