FAQs for Sub Chapter 1704

What products are classified under HSN 1704

It includes Sugar confectionery

Any import/export nuance for Sugar confectionery?

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.

What misclassification mistakes happen with Sugar confectionery?

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.

What should my invoice and records include for Sugar confectionery?

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.

Do spares or accessories of Sugar confectionery 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.

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Sugar confectionery?

If your outward supply of Sugar confectionery 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.
