It includes Meat extracts & juices

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Meat extracts & juices?

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 import/export nuance for Meat extracts & juices?

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.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Meat extracts & juices?

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

### Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Meat extracts & juices?

If your outward supply of Meat extracts & juices is taxable, ITC is generally available (Sections 16–17) except blocked credits (e.g., personal use, motor vehicles in most cases). For exempt supplies, proportionate reversal is required under Rule 42/43.

### Any special steps when selling Meat extracts & juices 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.

### If I repair and return Meat extracts & juices, 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.
