What products are classified under HSN 90278930 ?

It includes Electricity meters for alternating current

How should mixed supplies be billed when Liquid Surface Tension Instruments is sold with other items?

Use separate invoice lines per HSN and apply the correct rate per line (e.g., Varies for Liquid Surface Tension Instruments; Nil for exempt items if applicable).

Do e‑way bill and e‑invoice apply for Liquid Surface Tension Instruments?

e‑Way bill is needed above ₹50,000 consignment value (subject to exemptions). e‑Invoicing is turnover‑based (presently AATO > ₹5 crore) for B2B supplies.

Any common misclassification issue with Liquid Surface Tension Instruments?

Use the exact HSN and describe the form/grade. For multi‑line invoices, apply the rate per line to avoid wrong tax collection.

Does packaging or labelling change the GST for Liquid Surface Tension Instruments?

For food/agri items, GST can be 5% when not fresh/chilled and sold as pre‑packaged & labelled; otherwise often Nil. For non‑food items, rates depend on the specific sub‑heading.

Can we claim ITC on inputs used to trade Liquid Surface Tension Instruments?

If your outward supply is taxable, eligible ITC is available subject to general restrictions. For exempt/Nil supplies, reverse credit per Rule 42.
