Quick Summary
Packing and forwarding charges in an invoice are generally taxable under GST. Charges may be added before GST, with tax usually applied at the same or highest applicable item rate depending on supply nature. Discussion also mentions HSN or SAC code 998540 for packaging services.

GST shall be charged on packing and forwarding charges too. Rate will be same as of item
Gst will be chargeable on the highest rate of the items.
If there are various items and the highest rate is 28%....p & f charges will be charged at 28%.
