Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 1805 and GST compliance.
What products are classified under HSN 1805
It includes Cocoa powder
How should I document Cocoa powder sent for job work?
Use a delivery challan for sending Cocoa powder 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.
Any import/export nuance for Cocoa powder?
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 should my invoice and records include for Cocoa powder?
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 Cocoa powder 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 reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Cocoa powder?
Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Cocoa powder are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.
