Clarification regarding GST rates & classification (Goods)
Show AI Summary
GST goods classification clarifies treatment of heat-processed legumes, almond milk, mechanical sprayers, leased imports, and medical-device parts.
Dried leguminous vegetables subjected only to heat for moisture removal, softening, puffing or skin removal, without additional ingredients, remain classified under HS 0713. They attract 5% GST when branded and packed in unit containers and are otherwise exempt; mixtures with ingredients such as salt or oil, or goods sold as namkeens, fall under edible preparations at the applicable rate. Almond milk is classified under the residual beverage entry and attracts 18% GST. Mechanical sprayers of every type, including hand-operated, power-operated, battery-operated, foot and rocker sprayers, attract 12% GST.
