What products are classified under HSN 1211

It includes Plants used in perfumery or pharmacy

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Plants used in perfumery or pharmacy?

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.

Any special steps when selling Plants used in perfumery or pharmacy through an e‑commerce platform?

Ensure registration requirements are met and reconcile the operator’s TCS statements with your GSTR‑2B/3B. Map SKU descriptions to HSN to reduce mismatches and returns.

Do spares or accessories of Plants used in perfumery or pharmacy 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.

How should I document Plants used in perfumery or pharmacy sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Plants used in perfumery or pharmacy 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.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Plants used in perfumery or pharmacy?

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 Plants used in perfumery or pharmacy?

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