## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 1008

It includes Buckwheat, millet, canary seeds

### Any import/export nuance for Buckwheat, millet, canary 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.

### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Buckwheat, millet, canary seeds?

Prefer separate lines per item with its HSN so each component follows its own tax treatment. If it is a naturally bundled supply, identify the principal supply and tax the whole bundle accordingly.

### Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Buckwheat, millet, canary 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.

### How should I document Buckwheat, millet, canary seeds sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Buckwheat, millet, canary seeds 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.

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Buckwheat, millet, canary seeds?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Buckwheat, millet, canary seeds 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.
