## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 2507

It includes Kaolin clay

### Do spares or accessories of Kaolin clay follow the same HSN?

Not always. Spares are often classified by their own description or by the function/part rule. Check if a specific sub‑heading exists for parts of the main item and describe the part on the invoice.

### Any special steps when selling Kaolin clay through an e‑commerce platform?

Ensure registration requirements are met and reconcile the operator’s TCS statements with your GSTR‑2B/3B. Map SKU descriptions to HSN to reduce mismatches and returns.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Kaolin clay?

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

### Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Kaolin clay?

Some entries use MRP/weight‑based conditions for classification. Keep pack size, retail marking and brand status on records and invoice to support the chosen HSN.

### What are the e‑way bill and e‑invoice points while moving Kaolin clay?

Generate an e‑way bill when the consignment value exceeds ₹50,000, unless exempted for the transaction. E‑invoicing depends on turnover (AATO threshold as notified) for B2B supplies, not on the item itself.

### What misclassification mistakes happen with Kaolin clay?

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.
