Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 2522 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 2522

It includes Quicklime & hydraulic lime

Any special steps when selling Quicklime & hydraulic lime 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 Quicklime & hydraulic lime?

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

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Quicklime & hydraulic lime?

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 Quicklime & hydraulic lime?

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.

Do spares or accessories of Quicklime & hydraulic lime 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.
