Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 2103 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 2103

It includes Sauces & seasonings

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Sauces & seasonings?

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 Sauces & seasonings?

If your outward supply of Sauces & seasonings 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.

What misclassification mistakes happen with Sauces & seasonings?

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.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Sauces & seasonings?

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 Sauces & seasonings, 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.
