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. ### Any import/export nuance for Dental hygiene preparations? 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. ### How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Dental hygiene preparations? 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. ### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Dental hygiene preparations? 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 misclassification mistakes happen with Dental hygiene preparations? 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. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 3306 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
