Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 2403 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 2403

It includes Manufactured Tobacco

How should I document Manufactured Tobacco sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Manufactured Tobacco 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.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Manufactured Tobacco?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Manufactured Tobacco are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Manufactured Tobacco?

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.

What misclassification mistakes happen with Manufactured Tobacco?

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 are warranty replacements of Manufactured Tobacco 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.
