Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 2404 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 2404

It includes Tobacco products, nicotine substitutes

Do spares or accessories of Tobacco products, nicotine substitutes 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.

How should I document Tobacco products, nicotine substitutes sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Tobacco products, nicotine substitutes 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.

If I repair and return Tobacco products, nicotine substitutes, 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.

Any special steps when selling Tobacco products, nicotine substitutes 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.

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Tobacco products, nicotine substitutes?

If your outward supply of Tobacco products, nicotine substitutes 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.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Tobacco products, nicotine substitutes?

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.
