What should my invoice and records include for Scents, Sprays, Powder-Puffs?

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.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Scents, Sprays, Powder-Puffs?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Scents, Sprays, Powder-Puffs 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.
