What products are classified under HSN 5508

It includes Fresh onions & garlic

What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Fresh onions & garlic?

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.

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Fresh onions & garlic?

If your outward supply of Fresh onions & garlic 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.

What misclassification mistakes happen with Fresh onions & garlic?

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.

Do spares or accessories of Fresh onions & garlic 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.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Fresh onions & garlic?

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