## Frequently asked questions

### What products are classified under HSN 2525

It includes Mica, including splittings

### Does packaging or branding change how GST applies to Mica, including splittings?

Yes. Many food/agri goods are treated differently when sold as pre‑packaged & labelled retail packs versus loose/open packs. If Mica, including splittings 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.

### How are warranty replacements of Mica, including splittings handled?

If replacement is without consideration under a pre‑agreed warranty, issue a delivery challan and reference the original invoice/contract. If consideration is charged, raise a tax invoice. Keep serial/lot details for traceability.

### Can reverse charge ever apply to transactions involving Mica, including splittings?

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

### If I repair and return Mica, including splittings, 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.

### How should I document Mica, including splittings sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Mica, including splittings 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.
