Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 2201 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 2201

It includes Mineral & Aerated Waters

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Mineral & Aerated Waters?

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 should my invoice and records include for Mineral & Aerated Waters?

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.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Mineral & Aerated Waters?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Mineral & Aerated Waters 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.

Do spares or accessories of Mineral & Aerated Waters 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.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Mineral & Aerated Waters?

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.
