As such No.
As during the transit the conveyance not being incepted by officer then there is no problem , ask your supplier to e-mail the Invoice Copy with correct HSN & while filling GSTR 1 to upload invoice with correct HSN.

Book you purchase with correct HSN

Thank You Mr.P. Rawat for your assistance. Perhaps I did not phrased my query well.What I meant was there were several instances where our Auditors pointed out that our suppliers have not billed us goods in correct HSN code though GST rate charged was same. For instance ITEM Vinegar our supplier has billed in HSN 1704 12% , our Auditors said correct HSN is 2209 12%. Though rate of GST is same. There is no issue of revenue loss to the authority. But my query was, whether this can have any consequences for us
