FAQs for Sub Chapter 2208
Any import/export nuance for Spirituous Beverages?
Exports are zero‑rated (with or without payment of IGST) subject to LUT/refund conditions. Imports may attract customs duties in addition to GST. Keep HSN‑wise description consistent across invoice, shipping bill and BOE.
What misclassification mistakes happen with Spirituous Beverages?
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.
Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Spirituous Beverages?
Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Spirituous Beverages are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.
Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Spirituous Beverages?
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.
How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Spirituous Beverages?
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.
