Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 4502 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 4502

It includes Natural cork products

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Natural cork products?

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.

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Natural cork products?

If your outward supply of Natural cork products 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.

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Natural cork products?

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

Any import/export nuance for Natural cork 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.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Natural cork products?

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.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Natural cork products?

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