## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 1006

It includes Rice

### What misclassification mistakes happen with Rice?

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.

### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Rice?

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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Rice?

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

### How should I document Rice sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Rice 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 Rice 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.
