Artificial Honey Products Attract 18% GST: AAR
GST
The Karnataka Authority for Advance Rulings (AAR) classified "Bee-Prime Feed," a product by M/s. Technocrats Equipment Sales & Service, under HSN code 1702.90, attracting an 18% GST rate. The applicant, represented by Ashok R. Kulkarni, argued it should fall under HSN 2309 9090 (Animal Feed) due to its use in feeding honeybees. \r
However, the AAR, comprising M.P. Ravi Prasad and Kiran Reddy T., found that the product's primary ingredient, refined sugar, fits the tariff schedule's definition of "artificial honey" under heading 1702, including mixtures imitating natural honey. \r
Consequently, "Bee-Prime Feed" is classified under HSN 1702.90 with an 18% GST rate as per entry number 11 of Schedule III to Notification No. 1/2017-Central Tax (Rate) dated 28.06.2017.
