Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 2504 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 2504

It includes Natural graphite

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Natural graphite?

The composition scheme is optional for eligible small suppliers of goods. You cannot issue tax invoices or collect tax under composition. Check turnover limits and exclusions; evaluate margins and ITC loss before opting in.

How do I bill a kit or combo that includes Natural graphite?

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.

What misclassification mistakes happen with Natural graphite?

Using a broad or incorrect HSN, ignoring material/form (e.g., raw vs processed), or mixing goods and services on one line. Always match wording to the HSN Notes and keep a classification working paper.

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Natural graphite?

If your outward supply of Natural graphite 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.

Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Natural graphite?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Natural graphite is sold in small pouches (e.g., 500 g) with an MRP and label, record that on the invoice. Loose bulk bags often follow a different treatment.
