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. ### What misclassification mistakes happen with Soya beans, broken or not? 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. ### If I repair and return Soya beans, broken or not, 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. ### Do spares or accessories of Soya beans, broken or not 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. ### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Soya beans, broken or not? 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. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 1201 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
