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 Pre-packaged sugar & jaggery products? 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 Pre-packaged sugar & jaggery products? 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. ### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Pre-packaged sugar & jaggery products? 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. ### How are warranty replacements of Pre-packaged sugar & jaggery products 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. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 1701 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
