Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 4504 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 4504

It includes Agglomerated cork articles

What misclassification mistakes happen with Agglomerated cork articles?

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 Agglomerated cork articles?

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

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Agglomerated cork articles?

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.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Agglomerated cork articles?

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

Any import/export nuance for Agglomerated cork articles?

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.
