What products are classified under HSN 1521

It includes Vegetable & insect waxes

Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Vegetable & insect waxes?

Reverse charge in goods is notified only for specific categories. Most regular B2B sales of Vegetable & insect waxes are forward charge. Check the current notifications for any special cases before deciding.

If I repair and return Vegetable & insect waxes, how should I charge GST?

Repair/service is a service supply (SAC). Parts and materials used are goods and may be billed separately with HSN. Mention both lines clearly to avoid mixing service and goods values.

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Vegetable & insect waxes?

If your outward supply of Vegetable & insect waxes is taxable, ITC is generally available (Sections 16–17) except blocked credits (e.g., personal use, motor vehicles in most cases). For exempt supplies, proportionate reversal is required under Rule 42/43.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Vegetable & insect waxes?

Prefer separate lines per item with its HSN so each component follows its own tax treatment. If it is a naturally bundled supply, identify the principal supply and tax the whole bundle accordingly.

How should I document Vegetable & insect waxes sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Vegetable & insect waxes to the job worker. Declare movement in your records and reconcile when the goods return. If the job worker raises a service invoice, classify it under SAC; your goods remain under the original HSN.

What should my invoice and records include for Vegetable & insect waxes?

Include HSN, exact description, pack size/grade, quantity, and if pre‑packaged & labelled. Maintain purchase specs, test reports (where relevant), and job‑work challans for audit trail.
