Hsn code in GST


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to report export sales under the GST HSN code system. Despite export customers not having GSTINs, these sales are classified as 'B2B' in Table 12 of the GST portal. This is because exports are considered zero-rated outward taxable supplies under GST law, aligning with the reporting logic for HSN summaries.

06 June 2025 Explanation: Why Export Sales Go Under "B2B" in Table 12
As per the GSTN schema, “B2B” in Table 12 includes:

All taxable outward supplies where HSN reporting is mandatory, excluding B2C (domestic retail).

That includes:

Supplies to registered persons (normal B2B)

Exports with or without payment of tax

SEZ supplies

Even though the export buyer does not have a GSTIN, the sale is still treated as a “zero-rated outward taxable supply” under Section 16 of IGST Act, and therefore not B2C.

06 June 2025 export customers do not have GSTINs, so at first glance, exports don’t appear to fit under “B2B” (business-to-business) in the usual sense.

But in GSTR-1 Table 12 (HSN Summary), classification is not based on whether the recipient has a GSTIN, but rather on the nature of the supply as per GST reporting logic.

06 June 2025 How to Report Export Sales in HSN Table (as per May 2025 Update):
Even though the portal doesn’t show an “Exports” tab in Table 12, you should:

➤ Include export HSN data under B2B
This is because exports are treated as zero-rated B2B supplies under GST for the purpose of HSN summary.
