Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 2006 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 2006

It includes Preserved vegetables & fruits

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Preserved vegetables & fruits?

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.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Preserved vegetables & fruits?

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 do I bill a kit or combo that includes Preserved vegetables & fruits?

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.

If I repair and return Preserved vegetables & fruits, 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.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Preserved vegetables & fruits?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Preserved vegetables & fruits is sold in small pouches (e.g., 500 g) with an MRP and label, record that on the invoice. Loose bulk bags often follow a different treatment.

How should I document Preserved vegetables & fruits sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Preserved vegetables & fruits 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.
