Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 4005 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 4005

It includes Tobacco products

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Tobacco products?

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.

How are warranty replacements of Tobacco products 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.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Tobacco products?

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

Do spares or accessories of Tobacco products 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.

Any import/export nuance for Tobacco products?

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.
