11 January 2019 I have imported sanitary napkins under HSN code 96190010 (which is exempted under GST) but while entering the bill of entry by clearing agent they wrote wrong HSN code i.e. 96190090 (which attracts 12% GST) hence though sanitary pads are exempted from GST and we also purchased under exempted HSN code i.e. 96190010 due to wrong HSN code entered by clearing agent, we had paid IGST on duty which is a substantial amount. Now can I claim that IGST refund? if yes what's the procedure for that, please guide
