Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 2004 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 2004

It includes Frozen preserved vegetables

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Frozen preserved vegetables?

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.

How are warranty replacements of Frozen preserved vegetables 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.

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Frozen preserved vegetables?

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.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Frozen preserved vegetables?

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.

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Frozen preserved vegetables?

If your outward supply of Frozen preserved vegetables 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.
