Certain changes in Goods Exemption Notification from January 01, 2022 to align it with HS 2022



Quick Summary
The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has updated the Goods Exemption Notification, with changes effective from January 1, 2022. These amendments align the notification with the new HS 2022 nomenclature, which introduced significant global changes to product classifications. The update affects various goods, including certain fish products, provisionally preserved vegetables, nuts, tender coconut water, and parts for aircraft, by adjusting their Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) codes.

Background

Earlier, the CBIC issued Notification No. 2/2017 Central Tax (Rate) dated June 28, 2017 ("the Goods Exemption Notification") in order to notify the exemption on certain supply of goods mentioned therein.

Further, the new (seventh) edition of the Harmonized System (HS) nomenclature i.e., HS-2022, has come into force from January 01, 2022. This edition has introduced significant changes to the Harmonized System with a total of 351 amendments at the six-digit level, covering a wide range of goods moving across borders.

As India is a party to the HS convention, necessary changes were brought in accordingly, in GST through the below mentioned notification:
