GST classification of marble statues: competing tariff interpretations produce divergent rates and may warrant an advance ruling.
The document records conflicting positions on GST classification of marble statues: one view treats them as stone statuettes under a reduced-rate tariff heading, while another rejects that classification-distinguishing statues from blocks/slabs and statuettes-and treats marble statues as unspecified goods subject to the general rate. Advice is given to seek an Advance Ruling when classification is doubtful, and an additional query asks whether deities of stone or marble qualify for a zero-rate exemption. (AI Summary)
