The GST rate for Branded Natural Honey is 5% and the HSN is 04090000. One of the seller of Honey has developed a new product where Ginger or Cinnamon Extract is infused to the natural honey, to give it a distinct flavour. The infusion is to the extent of 0.5 to 1% by weight. The seller sells it as Honey with Ginger / Ginger Honey.

My Query is does this product comes under the same rate of Branded Natural Honey ( GST @5%) and have the same HSN Code of 04090000, OR then what is the correct classification and GST Rate

Natural honey is still natural honey even if you mix, ginger into it unless it is chemically processed. Artificial honey is taxed at different rate. Otherwise natural honey is completely exempted and only branded and sold in a unit container is taxed.
