What products are classified under HSN 5505

It includes Herb seeds

What misclassification mistakes happen with Herb seeds?

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.

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Herb seeds?

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 Herb seeds?

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

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Herb seeds?

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

What should my invoice and records include for Herb seeds?

Include HSN, exact description, pack size/grade, quantity, and if pre‑packaged & labelled. Maintain purchase specs, test reports (where relevant), and job‑work challans for audit trail.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Herb seeds?

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.
