Hey Siddharth! For gift hampers containing chocolates and nuts, the HSN classification depends on the predominant item or you may list the items separately if detailed reporting is required.
Here’s a quick guide:
-
Chocolates:
Usually fall under HSN Code 1806 – “Chocolate and other food preparations containing cocoa.”
-
Nuts:
Depending on the type, generally under HSN Code 0802 – “Other nuts, fresh or dried, whether or not shelled or peeled.”
For Gift Hampers (Mixed Products):
-
If you are classifying the hamper as a single product, use the HSN Code 2106 — “Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included.”
-
This is often used for mixed food gift packs, assortments, or hampers.
Best Practice:
-
Mention individual HSN codes for each item in detailed invoices.
-
If that’s not possible and hamper is sold as a composite product, use 2106.
