Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common queries about HSN Sub Chapter 2606 and GST compliance.

What products are classified under HSN 2606

It includes Aluminium ores & extracts

Does MRP, weight or pack size change GST treatment for Aluminium ores & extracts?

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.

How should I document Aluminium ores & extracts sent for job work?

Use a delivery challan for sending Aluminium ores & extracts 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.

Can I claim ITC on inputs and services used for Aluminium ores & extracts?

If your outward supply of Aluminium ores & extracts 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.

Is the composition scheme suitable if I mainly trade Aluminium ores & extracts?

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.

Any import/export nuance for Aluminium ores & extracts?

Exports are zero‑rated (with or without payment of IGST) subject to LUT/refund conditions. Imports may attract customs duties in addition to GST. Keep HSN‑wise description consistent across invoice, shipping bill and BOE.
