Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 1206 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 1206

It includes Sunflower seeds, broken or not

What should my invoice and records include for Sunflower seeds, broken or not?

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 are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Sunflower seeds, broken or not?

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.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Sunflower seeds, broken or not?

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 Sunflower seeds, broken or not sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Sunflower seeds, broken or not 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.

How are warranty replacements of Sunflower seeds, broken or not handled?

If replacement is without consideration under a pre‑agreed warranty, issue a delivery challan and reference the original invoice/contract. If consideration is charged, raise a tax invoice. Keep serial/lot details for traceability.
