## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 0906

It includes Cinnamon & cinnamon-tree flowers

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Cinnamon & cinnamon-tree flowers?

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.

### If I repair and return Cinnamon & cinnamon-tree flowers, 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 Cinnamon & cinnamon-tree flowers sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Cinnamon & cinnamon-tree flowers 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.

### Do spares or accessories of Cinnamon & cinnamon-tree flowers 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.

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Cinnamon & cinnamon-tree flowers?

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.
