Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Aircraft and spacecraft 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. ### What should my invoice and records include for Aircraft and spacecraft? 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 Aircraft and spacecraft? 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. ### What misclassification mistakes happen with Aircraft and spacecraft? 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. ### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Aircraft and spacecraft? Some entries use MRP/weight‑based conditions for classification. Keep pack size, retail marking and brand status on records and invoice to support the chosen HSN. ## India's trade performance: HSN Sub-Chapter 8802 (FY 2024-25) Source: TradeStat EIDB, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
