What else falls under this heading
HSN 1902 isn't just seviyan and vermicelli — it covers pasta broadly: spaghetti, macaroni, noodles, lasagne, gnocchi, ravioli, cannelloni, and couscous, cooked, stuffed, or otherwise prepared. If you sell any packaged pasta product, this is very likely your heading regardless of shape or filling.
Don't confuse this with HSN 1901 (food preparations of flour, malt extract, or cereal-based mixes) — that's a separate heading for a different category of processed cereal products, even though both sit in the same GST rate band.
