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. ### If I repair and return Cocoa beans, whole or broken, 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. ### How should I document Cocoa beans, whole or broken sent for job work? Use a delivery challan for sending Cocoa beans, whole or broken 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. ### What should my invoice and records include for Cocoa beans, whole or broken? 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. ### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Cocoa beans, whole or broken? 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. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 1801 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
