FAQs for Sub Chapter 4001

What products are classified under HSN 4001

It includes Natural rubber & similar gums

Any import/export nuance for Natural rubber & similar gums?

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.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Natural rubber & similar gums?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Natural rubber & similar gums 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.

What misclassification mistakes happen with Natural rubber & similar gums?

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 Natural rubber & similar gums?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Natural rubber & similar gums are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Natural rubber & similar gums?

The composition scheme is optional for eligible small suppliers of goods. You cannot issue tax invoices or collect tax under composition. Check turnover limits and exclusions; evaluate margins and ITC loss before opting in.
