Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 2008 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 2008

It includes Preserved fruit, nuts & plant parts

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Preserved fruit, nuts & plant parts?

If your outward supply of Preserved fruit, nuts & plant parts 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.

Do spares or accessories of Preserved fruit, nuts & plant parts 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.

Any special steps when selling Preserved fruit, nuts & plant parts through an e‑commerce platform?

Ensure registration requirements are met and reconcile the operator’s TCS statements with your GSTR‑2B/3B. Map SKU descriptions to HSN to reduce mismatches and returns.

How are warranty replacements of Preserved fruit, nuts & plant parts 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.

What misclassification mistakes happen with Preserved fruit, nuts & plant parts?

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.
